I have made a recipe similar to this for years, and everyone raves about it. My changes are: Add chopped onion and garlic to the beer - nothing else. If you can't use beer, use a soda can filled with chicken broth and onion/garlic. Greasing the outside of the can will make it easier to remove from the chicken after it is cooked! (I spray mine with PAM) I lightly oil the outside of the chicken, and then use a rub of brown sugar - chili powder - pepper - salt - garlic powder & onion powder; mixed to your taste. This adds flavor and crisps the skin nicely. Keeping your grill at around 300 - 350 works best, and IMO smaller chickens cook quicker (obviously) and have more flavor. Leftovers are great for chicken salad or quesadillas. (I always cook an extra chicken to insure I have leftovers.) For a special dinner, use cornish hens and small juice cans...each guest gets their own!

I have made a recipe similar to this for years. If you think this recipe is too bland try these changes: Mix a combo (to taste) of brown sugar, chili, garlic, & onion powder(s), salt and pepper, and rub on the chicken. I don't use butter or oil - I find it isn't needed. For those who do not wish to use beer, replace it with chicken broth in a soda can! (I add some chopped up onion and garlic to whichever liquid I put in the can.) I always do more the one chicken, as leftovers are great and can be used for chicken salad, too.

We did not care for this combination - although the mayo and butter kept the chops juicy, it also made them greasier than usual, and the cheese did not seem to add anything much to the flavor. It was not bad - but not anything I would consider making again.
