Beer can chicken! It's the best. You season a chicken very well with salt, pepper, favorite spices, stick an open, half full can of beer up the chicken's crotch, then stand it up in a grill and cook for about 80 minutes over indirect heat (with the grill cover down).





The skin is crispy and golden brown; the meat is juicy and moist. It's the best! Plus it's kind of entertaining to see the chicken standing up in the grill impaled on a beer can.





Google for beer can chicken for more specific recipes and pictures. I always just improvise.What are some good chicken recipes that use beer?

Remove giblet package from chicken and discard or save for another use.





Spread Emeril's Original Essence Seasoning liberally over chicken. Wrap chicken in plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour.





Preheat grill to 375掳F to 400掳F.





If your grill has two burners, heat only one. If it has three, heat the two on the outsides and do not turn on the middle burner.





Remove plastic wrap from chicken. Open beer can (you may add garlic to the can of beer if you wish) and insert the full beer can into the chicken (so that the chicken is standing upright with the can inserted into it).





Stand the chicken upright on the burner of the grill that is NOT lit. The beer can should fit snugly in the chicken so that the chicken does not fall over. Close the grill and cook the chicken for approximately 2 hours or until done.
