Sub any canned soft drink or even chicken broth for the beer. I omitted the chili powder and added some cayenne pepper and ground sage. We didn't have a beer can chicken stand so I stood the chicken and can in an aluminum pie pan.
To begin with this recipe, we have to first prepare a few components. You can cook beer can chicken using 8 ingredients and 4 steps. Here is how you cook that.
The ingredients needed to make Beer Can Chicken:
- Make ready 1 whole chicken
- Take 1 tsp fennel seeds
- Get 1 tsp cumin seeds
- Prepare 1 tsp smoked paprika
- Make ready 1 tsp brown sugar
- Get 1 tsp chili powder
- Prepare pinch salt and pepper
- Take 3 tbsp olive oil
Holding the chicken with legs pointed down, lower chicken over the can so it fills the body cavity. Hold the chicken above the can of beer and slide the chicken over the can. Fold the wings back behind the chicken. Make sure the legs are in front of the can, supporting the chicken.
Instructions to make Beer Can Chicken:
- Preheat your barbecue or oven to 200°C/400°F/gas 6. - Take your chicken out of the fridge while you make your rub. In a pestle and mortar, bash up your fennel and cumin seeds and mix with the paprika, brown sugar, chilli powder, salt and pepper. Stir in about 3 tablespoons of olive oil until you get a nice paste. Drizzle this rub all over the chicken, inside and out, using your hands to make sure you get it into all the nooks and crannies
- Crack your beer open, have a couple of good swigs so your can is just about half full, then lower your chicken’s cavity on to the top of the can so it looks as though the chicken is sitting on the can. A bit undignified, I know, but trust me – it’s going to be delicious.
- Cook for around 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes or until it’s golden and delicious and the meat pulls away from the bone and the juices run clear. If this isn’t the case (all barbecues and ovens are slightly different) just cook for a bit longer.
- Tent with foil on your counter for 10 minutes. Remove beer can and enjoy.
Lower the chicken on to the open can, so that the chicken is sitting upright, with the can in its cavity. There's quite a bit of lore surrounding beer-can chicken, and for good reason. Just look at that burnished mahogany bird. The steam from the brew flavors the meat and keeps it moist. Open the beer can and pour off half of the beer.
