easy & yummy

This was unbelievably easy and the meat was so moist! It doesn't have much of a beer flavor. This is a great way to cook chicken just to have on hand for sandwiches or other uses without having to heat up the oven.
Go Packers!

We have made this many times, especially during Packer games. Even though it can get quite cold this time of year, it's worth barbecuing this delicious chicken. Here's to the Packers winning the Super Bowl!! (Sorry Dallas)

Beer/Football Chicken

This was easy prep. I started the grill at the start of football game and by the time the second game was going to start it was done. I used Modelo beer and rubbed rosemary inside the chicken. The chicken was VERY juicy! It gave it great flavor! I recommend this recipe to anyone who does not like to be interrupted during football! Go Cowboys!

My husband said this was the juciest chicken he's ever had and my 6-year old asked if I would make it every night. I'd say those are rave reviews. Thank you to the reviewer who clarified that indirect heat should be used. I stuffed half a lemon in the neck. The only problem I had was getting the chicken to stay upright -- it seemed to want to tip because of the grate. I finally placed the grill pan we use for vegetables under the foil pan and that stabilized it well.
So much fun!

Drunken Chicken

User: Bridget from Gonzales, LA User Rating:
In Louisiana, we call this drunken chicken. One thing that we do different is that we skin the chicken. This makes the flavor that you put on it go into the meat and it makes the crispy outside okay for you to eat.
Most Awesome Chicken!

This is the most awesome chicken! My husband and I love the flavor. We loved the chicken without the sauce. It was flavorful enough without it! The sauce is yummy if you want to add it. I would recommend it!

I've made this several times, just as the recipe directs, without fail. Did 2 chickens at one time -- taste test between beers, Heineken keg can definitely beats out Miller Lite. Are there any other suggestions for beer brand? I like the suggestion another review mentioned - to add a garlic clove to the beer - will try that next time.
Awesome!

This was great. Follwed recipe exactly. Used my own home-made rub. As all the other reviews say, very moist and tender. Easy to do. A new favorite for our family.

This has to be one of, if not, the juiciest and most tender chicken that has ever emerged from my BBQ. I'm sure that you have also heard this recipe raved about by Food Network and others. It is simple to prepare and worth the wait. The chicken comes out juicy, tender, and with loads of flavor. Served up with a salad and vegetable which can be prepared while the bird is cooking and you've got a winner.
So Easy

This is one of those meals you can put on the grill, walk away, and 1 hour 15 minutes later it's done to perfection. However, I had a party and attempted 4 chickens at the same time, needless to say, when I came back to the grill I found that was too much grease and they had caught fire. I wouldn't cook more than one at a time.
Great way to make a basic chicken

This recipe made a crisp skinned and juicy bird. The spice rub did not add as much flavor as I would have hoped, but the flavor of meat was simple an delicious. It will make great leftovers...put into quesadillas, pasta, chicken salad, etc.
YUMMY!

Easy, FUN, and good!! As a tip; if there are other flavors & spices you like, add them in to the beer can. I added a touch of liquid smoke to the beer, and it was a nice compliment to the flavor!
Best Juicy Chicken Ever

This was simple and absolutely great with Mesquite Chicken Seasoning. I had to leave on the grill for 2 1/2 hrs for a 5lb chicken, but it was well worth the wait. I will definately cook this in the future.

This was just amazing. Perfectly browned, and probably the most tender, moist, chicken I've ever tasted. We couldn't get over how perfect it was...and so easy. I was a bit skeptical about how it would manage to "stand up", but it didn't tip over, and the cover seemed to help hold it up. We set the timer for 40 minutes and went out to check it, and voila`, it was done to perfection. This is a real winner.
Awesome

Easy and tender. Chicken falls right off the bone. Although we normally have to go through several beers before someone is willing to give up half of one.

The only problem I had was that I couldn't close the lid on my grill! Solved that easily enough...I took the cooking grate out and put the chicken upright in a cast iron pan right on the coals. Also used a can of soda due to being a dry house.
Very tasty and easy chicken

Don't forget to put a potato, onion or small apple in the neck cavity to hold the vapors inside the chicken and raise the beer can fluid for more flavor. Donnie Stanfill; Jackson, TN.

The chicken was good. I think that rubbing spices under the skin would have made it more flavorful. It was incredibly moist though. It almost fell apart when I took it off the grill.

This was a great receipe. It was easy and came out better than I had even imagined. It was my first time trying the beer can chicken. At 7000 feet I found it necessary to let the bird go for an hour and a half before it was completly done. It is definately going to be on my list to do again and again.

Talk about the best tasting,moistest bird I've ever had! the recipe sounded a bit odd but easy enough which is right up my alley. The bird perched atop the beer can was worthy of getting a few pictures. In less than 2 hours I had the meal of a king.. beer can chicken,homemade mashed potatoes and roasted corn. This chicken is definately going to meet my grill again!
Its easy, its moist, its yummy.

I have made 6 of these in the last year and everyone has turned out great. Its easy and with the addition of a rack to make it easier to keep standing up, it makes a great presentation piece. At a large party that I cook at I made a "nest" of fried rice noodles for it to stand up in.

This is a great recipe! We make this all the time. We call it drunk chicken. You can even do this in the oven placing the can on a pan or you can by a drunk chicken cooker in which you can add any liquid you want. I try seasoning it differently everytime and it is alwas great.

This recipe is full of flavor, easy to prepare, and a great way to impress a crowd. The chicken was the most moist chicken I've ever tasted. This can be done in the oven if it rains but the flavor isn't nearly as rich. This is great if you want to ensure tender, moist chicken.
