    This is a great recipe. My husband and I saw it done on the Food Network and decided to look it up. Since then (about two months ago we have made it three times and plan to make it again tonight.
    Once the chicken is cooking, there is little that has to be done aside from checking the temperature.
    I've read people concerned about the beer can expelling its self from the chicken dangerously upon removal from the grill, so I wanted to address that . Team work is highly effective. My husband shuts off the grill, and grasps the chicken with two handed tongs. As he slowly lifts the chicken, I pull out the beer can with an oven mitt. I then set it aside outside on an elevated heat-proof surface so the kid an dog can't get to it as it is HOT.
    Easy recipe to do, great recipe to eat. I highly recommend it.

    Love this recipe! If you're worried about the safety of this method, make sure you check out the Turkey Cannon (http://www.nationaltailgate.com/store/the_turkey_cannon-p-640.html. It serves the exact same purpose, but is much easier and safer to use.

    My husband made this tonight on the grill. It was great! Unfortunately the dog needed a bath afterwards because there wasn't a "collection can" under the grill for all the drippings...oh well it was worth it, the dog enjoyed the mess and the grill is fixed because we will definitely be making this again!!!

    I stuffed fresh garlic, oregano, sage and butter under the skin in addition to the rub. It was moist and juicy- a huge hit!

    I add sliced lemons & limes under the skin. Try rubbing rosemary/thyme on top of skin. Try dark beer or the least expensive canned beer you can find. I won a contest with my recipe and beat out a guy's ribs w/sauce. Crazy, right? So easy and a multitude of variations. Very easy--great for any skill level.

    Came out great. Real moist. The only change I will make the next time is to cut the salt in half.

    It was honestly the best chicken I've ever made. Super easy. The skin was yummy and the chicken stayed very moist. I used a can of Heineken and seasoned with Grill Mates Montreal Chicken Seasoning. And I bought one of those stands for the chicken, which worked really well. I'm not sure the chicken would have been stable on the grill without it.

    I couldn't such a simple recipe produced such fabulous chicken! The chicken was moist and full of flavor. I used McCormick's "Chicken Rub" and Coors Light. I highly recommend this recipe to anyone who loves beer.
