Awesome. Juicy and flavorful. My only modification was that I took it off after one hour, and the chicken was definitely done. Any more and it would have been too dry. I'll probably cut it down to 55 minutes next time.

To put it simply...Ultimate satisfaction to be had by all!! I used a homemade rub from the Farmer's Market. I also added lemon, onions, rosemary, and some rub to the beer. I was very dissapointed to have to roast in the oven because our grill is too small. However, it turned out to be the BEST chicken I have ever eaten. My husband insists eating it for Thanksgiving!! Great left over as well! I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Can't wait to actually grill it!!! Thanks Bob Blumer for a great "first" Beer Can Chicken recipe experience!!!

i have made beer can chicken on the grill for years-always put garlic and dry rub into the can (which is only 1/2 full I use an insta read thermometer to test doneness. Always delish and easy as pie. Attention everyone-use a a meat thermometer to see if its done.

Cooked a 5lb bird @ 400* for 1.5 hours; still raw in the middle.

The whole family agreed this is a something we'll def eat again!
I used McCormicks dry BBQ Grill Mates as the dry seasoning along w the salt and marinated for 24 hours. Even though I dont care for the dry rub at all straight from the container (I was just trying something new since they were on sale BOGO free. My chicken was prob 4.5 lbs. I cooked it on 350 degrees over indirect, per the recipe. Wings were a fraction dry but the rest of the chicken was perfect.

I love chicken this was. I have a few things I do in addition to the directions you gave. #1 After taking a couple of big gulps of the beer, I put fresh thyme or bay leaves in the beer. #2 I make little smoker packages. I soak some hickory or apple chips in water for about 30 minutes, then I wrap them in two foil packages and put holes in the foil, and put the packages on top of the coals. #3 I save the carcas of the smoked bird and freeze it until I am ready to make chicken stock. It gives chicken stock so much flavor to a winter chicken soup..

I was pretty excited to make this chicken based on all of the reviews. I don't have a BBQ that accommodates a bird this size, so I cooked it in the oven at 3:25. I added some of the rub and thyme to the beer. The chicken is really tender and I do like the novelty of cooking a chicken on the can, but the flavor is pretty typical of any other chicken I've cooked. I'd definitely make it again and maybe change up the seasonings for a little pizzaz!

Family enjoyed! I took chicken and melted some butter and some paula deans poltry seasoning, galic powder, salt, pepper, chilli powder, and most important bud, the king off all beers. Cooked on 350-375 on gas grill for 2 hours, talk about moist and good.....Thanks for the idea, son ate the chicken faster then ever with no BDQ sauce, love it! PS. after i drank half of the beer, I poured the rest of the butter and seasonings into the cam Enjoy/

By far the best Grilled chicken I've ever had. Moist, full of flavor. This time we even injected a pineapple marinade before throwing on the grill....Still waiting for it to be finished. THANKS!!!
