Guinness Smoked Chicken with Guinness BBQ Sauce

  • Author: Kelly Cahoon

Description

I really LOVE beer can chicken. It’s such an easy way to add a ton a flavor to fryer chicken and takes almost zero effort. Not to mention if you use the chicken throne from Traeger, you can put pretty much any liquid in the center, sans beer can! Guinness is officially my favorite thing to use currently, then add the BBQ sauce, and it is AMAZING.

  • 1/3C Traeger Chicken Rub
