"Beer-Can" Chicken is the name, but you don't have to use beer. Almost any canned beverage of your choice can work, including Root Beer. Below are two recipe choices to season your bird, a Root Beer BBQ Dry Rub and a Classic Pilsner/Lager Spicy Dry Rub:
Regardless of the dry rub you choose, after cleaning out the chicken, mix the dry ingredients together and heavily apply over the entire bird.
Now that you have the tips, tricks, and seasoning, it's time to grill:
It's easiest to insert the can into the bird at the grill, in order to avoid tipping it over and creating a mess. Once your chicken reaches 165 degrees, you’ll need to remove the can and the chicken from the grill. Take extra care, using grill tongs placed in the neck cavity to secure the bird from the top while carefully holding the bottom of the can with some oven mitts or pot holders. The can will be hot—you can burn yourself and you don’t want to spill any liquid from the can.
That's all it takes, now fire up the grill and get started!
