Drunk chicken
Drunk chicken, also known as beer can chicken, is a popular cooking method where a whole chicken is cooked upright with an opened can of beer inserted into its cavity. The beer creates steam as it evaporates during cooking, keeping the chicken moist and adding flavor. It's a fun and delicious way to cook chicken on the grill or in the oven!
Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken (about 4-5 pounds)
- 1 can beer
- 2 tablespoons BBQ rub your choice, or seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Remove the giblets from the chicken and pat it dry with paper towels. Season the chicken inside and out with salt, pepper, and your favorite BBQ rub.
- Open the can of beer and drink or discard about half of it. Place the beer can on a flat surface and carefully lower the chicken over the beer can, so it stands upright with the can inserted into the cavity.
- Brush the chicken with olive oil and place it on the grill or in the oven. Cook for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the chicken.
- Carefully remove the chicken from the grill or oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carefully removing the beer can. Carve the chicken and serve with your favorite sides.
- Enjoy!
