Beer Can Chicken

  • Author: Kelly Cahoon

Description

Well, technically ROOT beer can chicken. I haven’t been to a grocery store in over 2 weeks, and beer weirdly wasn’t on my list of necessities so I’m working with what I have. It was SO good.


Ingredients

  • Rootbeer
  • Avocado oil
  • Meat Church honey hog rub
  • Whole chicken

Instructions

  1. Heat grill to 375F.
  2. Pour 1/2 can root beer into a chicken throne and the other half into a spray bottle. (if you don’t have a chicken throne just keep your can 1-2 full and use that) 
  3. Cover your chicken in avocado oil (or vegetable or canola or grapeseed- not olive) then rub the inside and outside in a sweet rub like Meat Church honey hog. 
  4. Place the whole chicken, neck side up, on the throne/beer can and cook on the lowest grate. After the first 30 minutes continue spritzing the chicken with remaining root beer every 10-12 minutes until done. (internal temp of 165F).
