Very good! I love beer can chicken, but I usually use my own blend of spices and some other ingredients. Followed the ingredients for this recipe, but I used a gas grill and a roasting apparatus to make it a bit easier. This was very tasty. I did baste a couple times with olive oil. Thanks! :)

We just bought a holder a few weeks ago, This chicken is sooo good. I put celery and onions and garlic in both cavities. Our first drunken chicken was a treat to say the least. The outside was nice and crispy and the inside was so tender and juicy. Everyone's hints where great. Thank you Max for the thumps up in this one. Jazz

Can do the same thing with a small turkey breast. I sprayed the bird with butter flavored spray,put on the seasoning and sprayed it again. It kept the bird nice and moist and penetrated the seasoning. Also put the bird and the beer can on a heavy aluminum pie plate over an indirect propane grill. The pie pan keeps the can and bird stable and you can use the juices for basting for a bit more flavor. The pan helps in transferring the bird when done

This was the best charcoal-grilled chicken I have ever prepared. I skipped the bay leaf. My 4.5 lb. bird was done in a little over an hour. The chicken was very moist, tender and delicious.

This is a recipe I have used for a long time. I stuff lemons under the skin and cook on my gas grill. I place the chicken on a cookie sheet,(Make sure to use a cookie sheet you don't care gets blackened)and just reuse that cookie sheet for my drunken chicken. It's an awesome recipe and really easy an fast to prepare.

The recipe in itself is very good but you should be careful with the can of beer. Make sure that the paint on the can doesn't peel because it does sometimes. I have bought a pan for this exact purpose with a place to put the beer or whatever liquid you want to use.

Ohhh yeah, this is the good stuff right here. The first time I had beer can chicken, I couldn't believe how tender and moist it was. It's just phenomenal. I opted to use Memphis Rub from this site for the outside, but still used the liquid smoke in the can. Thank you for the explicit instructions to cook over indirect heat - I think that is a key step! I have a little stand for my beer can, and I sit the whole rig down inside a disposable pan to cook it. The drippings make wicked good gravy, if you're so inclined. Thanks!

This came out super juicy and delicious. I especially like that the directions state to DRINK half the beer instead of discard it.

We don't care for that much bay leaf; instead we put about a tablespoon of rosemary in the beer can and it is AWESOME! We have three cats & a dog who won't leave us alone until they get a serving too! Great with a gren salad and grilled potatoes!

Great recipe! I also used olive oil, and used cajun seasoning instead of the poultry seasoning. Sprinke a table spoon of it in the bear can. So good!

Great recipe, however, if you plan to cook the chicken for 2hrs on a grill, I would recommend indirect heat.(I used a 4 burner propane grill) If not, cut the cook time down to 1 1/2hrs. For a different taste, consider adding THIN lemon slices under the skin. Remember, "to each thier own". Still, all and all, a great recipe to start and tweak to your taste.

This was good, but I like the Beer Butt Chicken on this site better. This had a bit too much poultry seasoning for us and the bay leaf was a little weird. We like to rub the bird with seasonings and melted butter. We have the stands that we bought at Wal Mart that are inexpensive and work like a charm! Thanks.

Chicken was good. I'm not sure that I like the bay flavor on the chicken. Seemed a bit strong to me. The skin was delicious and crunchy. Oh yeah, I did this on a gas grill. Left one burner off, and the other one was set to medium-low for two hours.

I have only made this in the oven at 350 degrees for 2 hours, but it is well worth the wait! My family and friends request what we have renamed "Beer-butt Chicken"! I even found a neat can holder/cooking stand at Walmart for $3.95. It's a great tool!

I recommend mixing the seasonings with some olive oil to ensure a crispy tasty skin with a nice color (SEE MY PHOTO). I used seasoning salt (about 2 tsp) instead of poultry seasoning.
