1 aluminum foil pan, 12 1/4" x 8 1/4" x 1 1/4"

1 metal grill cover spacer or a brick

1. Thoroughly wash chicken inside and out. Drain.

Weber Recipes
Beer Can Chicken

From: Weber's Big Book of Grilling

Here’s a technique that delivers great-tasting chicken and makes a lively conversation starter as well. We’ve used one of our special rubs, but you can sub in 2 to 3 tablespoons of your favorite one. Bottoms up!

For the rub:

1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon granulated onion
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 whole chicken, 4 to 5 pounds
2 teaspoons vegetable oil

1 can (16 ounces) beer (tall boy)


To make the rub: In a small bowl combine the rub ingredients.

Remove and discard the neck, giblets, and any excess fat from the chicken. Rinse the chicken, inside and out, under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Lightly spray or brush all over with the vegetable oil and season, inside and out, with the rub.

Open the beer can and pour off half of the beer. Set the half-full can on a flat surface and slide the chicken over the top so the can fits inside the cavity. Transfer the bird to the grill, keeping the can upright. Carefully balance the bird on its two legs and the can. Grill over Indirect Medium heat until the juices run clear and the internal temperature reaches 170°F in the breast and 180°F in the thickest part of the thigh, 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours. Wearing barbecue mitts, carefully remove the chicken and the can from the grill, being careful not to spill the beer – it will be hot. Let the chicken rest for about 10 minutes before lifting it from the can. Discard the beer. Cut the chicken into serving pieces. Serve warm.

Makes 4 to 6 servings.

Not an easy thing to do since most gas grills even on low tend to be too hot for BBQ. I use the lowest heat setting and use indirect cooking. I have a problem with food burning or drying out before throughly being cooked so I use foil to wrap meats once the out side is to my liking and I have sauced them

Answer 4

bbq or smoke. Smoke chicken tastes so good on gas. Take a smoker box (or alluminum foil shapped like a boat) and fill with disired wood. Season chicken (legs preferbly) with Creole seasoning. Turn on half of grill and indirect cook untill chicken is 3/4 done. Brush on desired sause and fisnish cooking and eureka! delicious chicken!

Answer 5

Marinate it in your favorite flavors for a few hours, then put it on the grill, when the chicken is almost done coat it in BBQ sauce for a few minutes, then the sauce won't burn! Yummy Good Luck.

use Italian dressing as a marinade and keep putting it on the chicken from time to time as it cooks. it turns out great but i would use good dressing and not the cheap stuff
