Cookout and BBQ, Poultry

Chicken On A Can

  • One 3-pound Chicken
  • 8 cloves Roasted garlic, mashed
  • 1 tablespoon Dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
  • ~ Fresh ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/3 can Soda or beer

    • 1. Preheat the grill. Rub the outside of the chicken with roasted garlic, rosemary, thyme, and black pepper.

    2. Stand the chicken on the beer can, legs down, with the can inserted into the bird's cavity. Then stand the "canned" chicken on a low grill, over indirect heat. 3. Close the cover of the grill. Cook the chicken for 1 1/2 hours, rotating it a bit every 20 minutes.

    4. Remove the chicken when the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F with an instant-read thermometer. Cool the chicken 10 minutes before removing from the can and carving. Serves4
