I have made this with just spices to the chichen & with a beer. This was a really good variation, although I forgot the dijon mustard.

I have made this recipe a few times and have passed it along to several friends. We all agree, this is an easy way to cook a whole chicken and it always comes out perfect!

There is a beer can chicken holder that makes it much easier, I got mine at wal-mart. We always put an onion at the neck of the chicken to keep in the heat and add a little extra flavor.

I found two recipes for the beer can chicken on here, couldn't decide which was better, so I made them both. The other one was only poultry seasoning on the outside and beer in the can. This recipe turned out producing a more moist chicken. I don't know if it was the ingredients - I made one change to recipe. My beer can opening came very close to the neck opening and I was worried that the beer wouldn't evaporate into the main body of the chicken... so I cut the beer can about 1/3 of the way down for this recipe. Also, I roasted this in the oven- 450 for the first 20 minutes to crisp the skin and keep juices in..and then 375 for the next hour and a half. Very tasty, I will use this recipe from now on!

I'm baking the chicken in the oven at this very moment, since i don't have a bbq grill. I have no idea how it tastes but it smells sooooo good that i needed to tell you!!! Made a few changes. I used chicken breast, gave it a rub with garlic powder, paprika, red/white/black pepper mixture, salt and olive oil. Let in the fridge for about 2 hours. Then made the "italian restaurant-style salad dressing I" i found at this site (good, but made it a little bit thicker and added more garlic though). Made a cut on one side of the chicken breast and rubbed with salad dressing the inside. Omitted the mustard and added an extra garlic clove, chopped onion and mushrooms. I will tell you later how it turns out!!!!....... WOW!!!!!!! Extremely tasty and tender!!!!!!! Highly recommended!!!! I had to tell you that i've tried to make this recipe again but using pork tenderloin and it's soooo good!!! since i'm the onlyone who likes chicken at home and wanted my family to try this, i had to use a different meat and i assure you this is amazing!!!! The process was exactly the same but i marinated the meat with paprika, garlic powder,.... for 12 hours. Outstanding!! :)

I don't have a bbq grill, so i made this chicken in the oven. I seasoned the chicken before adding the mustard, and added a few seasonings in the beer can as well... the chicken was very tender, but i thought it lacked some flavor. It was good, but I don't think I'd make it again.

The idea was great but I cut an onion in half and stuffed it as far inside the chicken as I could and then added the bear can. I added butter to the bear(another review)and just rubbed the chicken with garlic, lawry's, pepper. My family really loved it!!

As another reviewer stated it was good, juicy too, but there wasn't much in the flavor dept. Next time I will add more seasonings and use a stronger beer.

I didn't think this tasted much different from regular baked chicken, but the fact that it was EASY helped :) I added garlic powder, onion salt, rosemary, and cajun seasonings to the mustard before spreading it on. I also added spices to the beer can. Will definitely make this again

This was unbelievably GOOD! I saw similar recipes in the past and I thought "This just isn't right!" Was I wrong! The best whole chicken I have ever made! I bought a three pack of whole fryer chickens at Costco. I did make some changes to the recipe. I made a dry rub of paparika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and a dash of cinnamon. Omitted the mustard. I rubbed the outside of the chicken and sprinkled inside the cavity. I put the chickens into zip lock bags and left them overnight. Lined the grill with aluminum foil. Omitted the Italian dressing, just used the can of beer. Took about a couple of hours on med heat on the gas grill. Covered top with aluminum foil when it got brown enough. Meat thermometer is useful. The whole family just raved! Juicy meat, crispy, tasty skin. This is a keeper! Thanks!

Great recipe! I pour out half of the beer and refill with cooled, melted butter. I use a spicy rub with paprika, crushed garlic, salt, pepper and cayenne. I set the barbecue on low and slow cook it for about 3-1/2 hours. Melts in your mouth with a crusty skin.
