This recipe is AMAZING! The flavors are wonderful and the meat is so tender. I made this the other day and didn't have a can of beer on hand, but had a can of cider instead, so I used that, and it came out soo tasty! This one is definitely a keeper.

The chicken was so moist. We served this to some friends, and even the extremely picky wife liked it! I will definitely be making this again.

I make this all the time, but go to a Green Egg dealer and purchase a ceramic (stand/beer holder), much better than a can. Chicken comes off easily and you can slide a heavy spatula under the holder to lift from the grill and place on a cutting board to transport from grill to the table. I also cook mine on a Green Egg grill @300 for around 4 hours for a 5 pound chicken. Try rubbing olive oil on the skin and then the rub of your choice. I like to use a cajun rub to add a little spice to the chicken. As a matter of fact, I put a 5 pounder on the grill this morning, (Thanksgiving) and will add some sweet potatos to the grill at 10:00 for our Thanksgiving dinner.

Absolutely delicious! We make this nearly once a week - we can eat some that night and use the remainder in other meals. I'll probably never buy rotisserie chicken again. This is too easy. I like trying different herbs in the liquid, too.

Such a great way to make a moist chicken. Slight modifications, used 1/2 the butter and added olive oil. Added a bit more crushed garlic and some rosemary. Next time I think I would marinate overnight with a bit of a spice rub. 1 Chicken took about 1 1/2 hour on the propane bbq. I used a glass baking dish, with foil under to collect drippings, which I then used for a gravy.

All I can say is WOW!!! Although the name originally struck me as a bit crude, I couldn't wait to give this baby a try, and boy am I gald I did! This was amazing. My boyfried and son cleaned their plates before I even had a chance to make mine and join them at the table. Although I strayed from the original recipe somewhat, I think that's where the beauty and simplicity of the recipe shines through. You can add whatever spices you favor and you're still going to get a great end result. I rubbed the chicken with half the spices and some extras (love the Weber Kickin' Chicken), put it in a large ziplock bag and let it sit overnight. In the morning, used a pop can filled with half a bottle of Fat Tire along with the remainder of the spices, butter, a bit of cayanne pepper and some additional minced garlic. Threw the bird on the grill with the center burner off. About three hours later I turned the center burner on and the skin browned to perfection in about 30 min. You don't need a fancy stand to pull this off, just make sure you spray the can with a non stick cooking spray before inserting it in to the bird, use any pan you don't mind throwing on the grill to catch drippings, baste with the drippings about every hour and viola. Perfecto!!!

We make this all of the time except we take the skin off of the chicken. Then we rub it lightly with canola oil and cover it with Lawry's. Even without the skin it stays very moist because of the beer. My brother does the same except he covers his chicken with rosemary.

I have only one crticism of this recipes and one suggestion. The criticism: DISCARD THE BEER???? Drink it! I have found wht I think is the best flavor: I add a use a red lager or ale as the beer. Most don't come it cans so I have a couple of empties arounf so I can use a good beer when I want it

I have made chicken this way numerous time. One thing I do is buy those cheap aluminum pies pans in like the dollar stores. I set the chicken on the beer holder rack thing in that, on the grate of a charcoal grille. I also pour some beer in the pan just enough to keep some fluid in it while chicken cooks. Also I think something that is important. On a charcoal grille get the coals good and hot, only around the outside perimeter of the grille. Leave the coals on the outside so that the chicken sets in the pan in the middle. That way it does not get over done. I have found at least an hour cooking this way for each lb. chicken you cook. Seasoning is up to what you like, me the more the better. I coat the chick in olive olive then softened butter and season it up. Fridge it for a while, then stick it on the grille and walk away, of course with the lid on..if it will fit. Gotta be careful your chicken isnt too big. Then when it looks done just check it with a meat thermometer,to be safe. Good stuff!

Followed recipe exactly and it was excellent. Keep in mind that it dosen't take 3 hours to cook if the chicken is smaller. Absolutely the best way to cook chicken. I used to plunk the chicken on the grill but it always caught on file. Placing the chicken/beer can or holder on a tin pie plate catches all the drippings and no fat fires. Thank you for excellent recipe.

Um, it was pretty good. I used a soda can that I filled w/ half beer and then the butter. I roasted a 6.5lb perdue oven stuffer for 1.5 hrs at 400 and 30 mins at 375. I used my own seasoning mix (throw everything in my spice rack on it basically). When I removed the chicken, and tried to pull out the can, beer/butter/juices went everywhere. What a mess. It didn't evaporate fully. However, the chicken was very very juicy. Almost unbelievably juicy. And the bird being propped up like that ensures a nice even roast. Still - not worth the mess, I'll stick with regular roast chicken and maybe just pour seem beer/butter into the cavity next time. Thanks for the fun attempt, though!

This was good, but kinda bland. Next time I will add a rub under the skin, and put either an apple or onion in the top, I used a foil ball this time and the chicken needed more flavor. I did use a stand and it turned out moist and good. I cooked a 5+ lb. bird at around 350 on the grill using the indrict method, and masquite chips for 2 hrs. I will make this again.
