THE BEST BEER CAN CHICKEN RECIPE - MESQUITE SMOKED!



The Best Beer Can Chicken Recipe - Mesquite Smoked! image

If you are looking for the best beer can chicken recipe out there, this is it. This mesquite smoked chicken is absolutely fabulous!

Provided by Karlynn Johnston

Categories     BBQ

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups mesquite wood chips
1 whole chicken
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cumin
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 can beer

Steps:

  • You can either prepare this by applying the mixture to the skin only or by applying to both the skin and the meat. The way I prefer it is to loosen the skin by slipping your fingers underneath the skin and pulling it away (gently) from the meat so you can apply the mixture directly to the meat for more flavour. Be careful not to rip the skin as you'll want to lay it back over the meat when done to prevent the meat from drying out.
  • Combine the oil and the spices together and rub them over the meat and skin. Let sit for 15 minutes to let things soak in a bit.
  • Empty some of the beer out of the can (I usually do about 1/3) and leave the rest in the can. Insert it into the cavity of the chicken so that it's standing upright in a pan (shown above).
  • Place in the smoker (pan included) upright for approximately 3 hours at around 225 degrees or until a thermometer inserted in thigh registers 165°.

BEER-BRINED BEER-CAN CHICKEN



Beer-Brined Beer-Can Chicken image

Tons of tailgaters and backyard grillers swear by beer-can chicken, but we've always wondered if the technique is more fun than function. Sticking a whole chicken on a can of beer is a cool party trick, but is it the best way to cook the bird? We tested the method every which way, and the truth is, the beer doesn't impart much flavor or moisture. The beer reaches only about 165 degrees F-not even boiling. The can, however, serves an important purpose: It lets you cook the chicken in an upright position so the skin gets crisp all over, similar to a rotisserie chicken. (Translation: You could actually use a soda can, with similar results.) For real beer flavor, we beer-brined the bird before grilling and filled the drip pan with beer, too.

Time 4h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 12-ounce can beer (preferably lager or pale ale)
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup kosher salt
2 wide strips orange zest (removed with a vegetable peeler)
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
3 cardamom pods
For the chicken:
1 4-to-5-pound roasting chicken, giblets removed
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, smashed
1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground coriander
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 12-ounce can beer (preferably lager or pale ale), at room temperature

Steps:

  • Make the brine: Combine the beer, brown sugar, salt, orange zest, orange juice and cardamom pods in a bowl; stir until the sugar and salt dissolve.
  • Put the chicken in a gallon-size resealable plastic bag and add the brine; seal and refrigerate 2 hours.
  • Prepare the grill: For a charcoal grill, pile 3 to 4 pounds briquettes in the grill; ignite and let burn until the coals are ashy. For a gas grill, preheat to high.
  • Prepare the chicken: Remove from the brine and pat dry; reserve the orange zest and cardamom. Rub the olive oil all over the skin. Loosen the skin on the breasts and legs with your fingers; rub 1 garlic clove under and over the skin. Combine the brown sugar, coriander, cumin, paprika, allspice, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper; rub under and over the skin of the chicken and inside the cavity.
  • Pour half of the remaining beer can into a disposable 8-inch-square pan. Add the reserved orange zest to the pan. Poke 3 or 4 holes into the top sides of the beer can using a paring knife. Add the remaining 3 smashed garlic cloves and the reserved cardamom pods to the can.
  • For a charcoal grill, bank the coals to both sides in two piles; nestle the pan with the beer between the coals and replace the top grill grate. For a gas grill, reduce the heat to medium on one side and turn off the burners on the other; place the pan under the grate on the unlit side.
  • Set the chicken over the beer can, inserting the can into the cavity so 1 inch of the can is exposed. Set on the grill grates over the drip pan so the chicken balances on the can and legs like a tripod. Cover the grill and cook until the chicken is golden brown and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165 degrees F. If using charcoal, this will take about 1 hour 20 minutes; add a handful of briquettes to each bank of coals every 30 minutes to maintain the heat. If using gas, it will take about 1 hour 5 minutes; carefully rotate the chicken halfway through.
  • Remove the chicken from the grill, discard the can and transfer to a cutting board; let rest 10 minutes before carving.

SMOKED BEER CAN CHICKEN RECIPE



Smoked Beer Can Chicken Recipe image

You've probably heard of beer can chicken, even if you haven't had the pleasure of trying it yet. Beer can chicken is prepared by inserting a partially filled can of beer into a chicken's body cavity prior to grilling-or in this case, smoking-the meat.

Provided by cavetools

Categories     Main Course

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 whole chicken (sometimes labeled as "whole fryer"), 3 to 4 pounds
3 tablespoons kosher salt
1 can (12 ounces) beer or ale, preferably at room temperature
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1-1/2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon prepared chili powder
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard

Steps:

  • Prepare the chicken by removing the neck and giblets, if necessary.
  • Trim any visible fat.
  • Lightly sprinkle the salt over the entire surface and inside the body cavity of the chicken.
  • This is a step that's known as "dry-brining," and it will season and tenderize the meat without the health risks posed by wet brine.
  • Cover the chicken with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-1/2 to 2 hours.
  • Try not to leave it any longer, or the meat may turn out spongy.
  • Meanwhile, soak the wood chips in water for at least half an hour.
  • Prepare the rub by mixing the ingredients together in a small bowl.
  • Carefully rinse the chicken under cold running water, inside and out.
  • Pat the entire surface dry with paper towels.
  • Apply the dry rub to the prepared chicken, taking care to massage the mixture into every nook and cranny, including the body cavity.
  • Try to fold the wing tips back as far as possible.
  • Heat the smoker to the ideal temperature for indirect cooking over medium heat-around 400 degrees.
  • Punch two extra holes in the top of the half-full beer can, using either the knife or can opener.
  • Place the beer can on one of the two platters.
  • Arrange the seasoned chicken over the can, nestling the can inside the body cavity so that the chicken looks like it's standing up.
  • Drain the wood chips.
  • Add them to the smoker box and light as per the manufacturer's instructions.
  • When the smoker is ready (usually when the wood begins to turn out good smoke), carefully transfer the beer can chicken to the grill, making sure to place it over indirect heat.
  • If the bird is too unstable to stand on its own, use the beer can stand to stabilize it.
  • Cook with the lid closed for about 1 to 1-1/2 hours, or until the internal temperature of the thigh reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • The juices should run clear when you jiggle the drumsticks.
  • With the tongs, carefully remove the chicken from the grill, using the spatula to keep the beer can in place.
  • Keeping the bird in the same upright position, transfer it to a platter and allow it to rest for at least 15 minutes so the juices have a chance to distribute evenly.
  • Carefully grasp the beer can using paper towels and twist it slightly to loosen it from the body cavity.
  • Grasp the chicken with tongs and gently lift it off the can, taking care not to spill the beer (it will be very hot!).
  • Discard the leftover beer.
  • Divide the chicken into pieces using the carving knife.
  • Serve warm and watch it disappear.

SMOKED BEER CAN CHICKEN



Smoked Beer Can Chicken image

Tender, juicy whole chicken that's seasoned and smoked on the smoker over beer.

Provided by Julie Evink

Categories     Main Course

Time 3h10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

3-5 lb whole chicken
1/4 c. light brown sugar
1 Tbsp kosher salt
1 Tbsp chili powder
1 Tbsp smoked paprika
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp oregno

Steps:

  • Preheat smoked to 250 degrees F.
  • In a small bowl mix together the rub ingredients together.
  • Rinse chicken under cold running water. Discard giblets and neck from chicken; drain and pat dry.
  • Sprinkle some of the seasoning mix into the top cavity of the chicken and rub the inside of the cavity with it. Gently lift the skin from the chicken. Then generously rub the chicken rub in between the skin and meat of the chicken to season the chicken. Next rub the remaining seasoning mix over the entire surface of the chicken.
  • Follow the directions for the beer can chicken roaster you have or you can carefully place the chicken over a beer can. Before placing the chicken on the can discard of 1/2 of the beer in the can.
  • Place the chicken, standing on the can, directly on the preheated smoker. Close the lid and smoke the chicken until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 2-3 hours depending on the size of your chicken. We recommend not checking the smoker for the first hour so the heat stays in. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 165 degrees F.
  • Remove the chicken from the smoker and discard the beer can. Cover the chicken with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before slicing.

BBQ BEER CAN CHICKEN



BBQ Beer Can Chicken image

This is our favorite smoked chicken recipe! YUM!

Provided by Cynthia Rusincovitch

Categories     Main Dishes

Time 2h25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tbsp kosher salt
1 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2-3 tbsp chipotle powder based on preference
2 tbsp paprika
2 tsp onion powder
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp dried thyme
2 3-4 lbs whole chickens
2 cups your favorite barbecue sauce (more or less based on preference)
1/3 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the smoker or grill to between 225-275 degrees and prepare to cook the chicken on indirect heat.
  • Mix up all of the ingredients for the spice mix and store in an airtight jar like a Mason jar. You will have extra - trust me, this is a good thing.
  • Remove the neck and giblets and pat the chicken dry with a paper towel. Tuck the wings back under the chicken if you prefer. (Totally forgot to do this when I made the chicken in the photo!)
  • Brush chickens with olive oil and sprinkle liberally with Chipotle Spice Mix.
  • If you are using an upright rack like the one pictured above, insert the beer can in the rack and the rack into the chicken. If you are not using a rack insert the can into the chicken with the legs forward in front of the can to balance the chicken. The can should have extra holes punched in the top with a bottle opener and only be half full of beer. (If you are not a beer drinker, you can use the rack but inject the chicken with apple juice for great flavor!)
  • Place the chicken on the grill and close the grill cover while cooking. You will cook until the chicken reaches 160 degrees in the breast area and 175 degrees in the thigh area.
  • Depending on the size of your chicken, that will take about 2-3 hours. About 20-30 minutes before you expect the chicken to be done, you will brush it with your favorite barbeque sauce. You want to cook the sauce until it becomes tacky instead of "wet" - but you don't want it to burn. So be careful with the time and temperature. The juices will run clear when the chicken is done.
  • Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving. Be careful when removing the can from the chicken because it will be hot and full of liquid!

SMOKED CHICKEN ON A BEER CAN



Smoked Chicken on a Beer Can image

From my hero of the grill, Rob Rainford. This to me is the ultimate beer can chicken recipe and the ultimate treat for me! The leftovers make awesome sandwiches, especially grilled cheese sandwiches with monterey jack and some salsa.

Provided by Whipper

Categories     Chicken

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 teaspoons dried sage
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon celery salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon thyme leaves
1 roasting chicken (6-7 lbs.)
1 (16 ounce) can beer
1/4 cup chicken stock
1 tablespoon brandy
2 teaspoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
2 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons butter, melted
2 cups mesquite wood chips

Steps:

  • Combine all the dry rub ingredients in a bowl and mix.
  • Prepare the marinade by placing the chicken stock, brandy, lemon juice, butter and 1 tablespoon of the dry rub into a small saucepan and warm gently until the butter melts then cool to room temperature.
  • Remove giblets from chicken along with any fat from inside the cavities, rinse then pat dry.
  • Season the inside cavity with 2 tablespoons of the dry rub, and rub in 3 tablespoons of the rub all over the outside of the chicken.
  • Using a syringe style flavor injector, inject the marinade sauce into the breast, thighs and drumsticks until plump. Brush the outside of the bird with some of the melted butter and let it sit in the fridge to marinade for 3 hours.
  • After the chicken has been marinading for 2½ hours, prepare the wood chips for smoking by pouring half of the beer over them in a bowl and let them soak for a half hour. Use a sharp can opener to punch a couple more holes in the top of the beer can and set aside.
  • Prepare the barbeque for indirect cooking by placing a drip pan underneath the grate on one side and removing the grate from the other side, then turn on only the burner opposite of the drip pan to high heat.
  • Squeeze the excess beer from the wood chips and make a smoking pouch with tinfoil (wrap in foil then poke holes with a fork), or smoking tray or tube.
  • Place wood chips directly over the burner that is on, close the lid and wait for smoke to appear. Once smoke appears, reduce to medium heat.
  • Hold chicken upright with body cavity down and lower onto the beer can then place onto the cool side of the grill over the drip pan and pull legs forward to form a stable tripod so it can stand upright on its own.
  • Brush with melted butter and continue to cook at 220°F with the lid down, basting every 45 minutes or so with the melted butter. If the chicken gets too brown on the outside before it is done, cover with tinfoil.
  • Remove chicken from the grill once it reaches an internal temperature of 180°F, about 2½ hours, cover with tinfoil and let rest for 10 minutes.

  • Pellet Grill: Turn the pellet grill to smoke and let it catch (4 or 5 minutes). Turn the dial to 350 degrees F and let it preheat for 10 minutes. Gas Grill: If using a gas grill turn one side on and let the whole grill preheat to 350 degrees F. Oven: Turn the oven to 350 degrees F and adjust rack to the lower third for a standing oven or the lowest rack for a small wall oven.
  • Rub a thin layer of oil onto the entire outer surface of the chicken. Liberally sprinkle the dry rub on the chicken. If your rub is not salty, add a little salt, too. Bend the wings behind the bird, like you would when roasting a chicken, to prevent the wing tips from burning.
  • After resting, remove the can or chicken throne. Turn the chicken over and cut the back lengthwise through bone with kitchen sheers or a sharp chef's knife. Flip the chicken over, spread out the sides of the chicken best you can and cut straight down along the breast bone to divide the chicken in half.
  • Reheat leftover chicken in the microwave or cover with foil and reheat in the oven at 325 for 20-30 minutes.

  • Any soda can you have around the house will work, we had a La Croix can that had not hit the recycle bin yet so that was my pick. I used a funnel to get all the liquids in and then shoved the peel and herbs in after. You could easily change the aromatics for anything you prefer, but I will say this combination smelled so good. I also will add any leftover rub to the can, just so it will not go to waste.
  • Mix the sugar and all the dry spices together and set aside while you get your bird ready for its massage. My chicken was huge!! He had to be like 6 pounds, he was so big I could only just fit him in my grill. So keep that in mind when shopping. Once he is fully defrosted rinse the bird inside and out then pat dry. I like to let my bird air dry for a little while too.
  • Now its time to wedge him on to the can…be careful you don’t spill the wine. I recommend that if you will be grilling/smoking him outside that you don’t try to transport the bird balanced on the can.
