Making Beer Can Chicken

RE: Making Beer Can Chicken Post By Margie Minard (Guest Post) (08/20/2006) My sister in law said this was the best chicken she ever tasted..all I did was to season my beer can chicken with: equal amounts (I used 1 Tbs each) of: salt black pepper paprika brown sugar First rub the chicken in olive oil and then pack the rub on. Can't get easier than that!! RE: Making Beer Can Chicken Post By Shari From Ontario (Guest Post) (08/15/2006) I fill the neck with garlic and then season the outside with salt pepper and any other spices I like. I do taste the beer I baste the chicken while it cooks with the juice that drips into the pan, I also leave more beer in the can than most instructions say. Hope this helps RE: Making Beer Can Chicken Post by mef1957 (225) | (08/15/2006) Profile | Blog! | Contact I don't think the beer actually does any flavoring so you'll have to toss on whatever you want for seasoning. As far as I recall, the beer acts more as a tenderizer and makes the chicken really moist. You'll want a rub mixed with a little olive oil and slathered all over the chicken. You can either use a premade rub mix such as McCormick Grillmates, or Mrs. Dash blends or better yet, frugally mix up your own version. Here's one I really like for roasting that will work: Sticky Chicken Seasoning 4 teaspoons salt 2 teaspoons paprika 1 teaspoon onion powder 1 teaspoon dried thyme 1 teaspoon white pepper 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder Mix together with a little olive oil to make a thick paste and rub away!

I like to spray it and roll in Pappy's seasoning, Butter garlic/pepper, teriaki & pineapple is great too. There are many more to try.

Rub some on the outside of the bird, also, so the flavor is all over.
