Devils Brewed Beer Can Chicken
Instructions
Preheat the grill to medium high (450 degrees F/230 degrees C).
· Wash the chicken inside and out with cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Rub the chickens inside and out with the Bone Dust Seasoning, massaging well and pushing some under the skin directly onto the meat.
· Open the can of beer and either take a big sip or pour off a couple of ounces to leave room for the roasting juices. Place the can of beer in a beer can chicken holder on a doubled pie plate or similar pan. Place the chicken cavity down over the can so that the can protrudes far enough into the cavity to stand the bird upright and hold it firmly.
· Place the chicken set-up on the grill. Close the lid and roast for 20 minutes a pound (about 60 to 80 minutes). Baste liberally with Beerlicious Sauce. Chicken is fully cooked when a thermometer inserted into the thigh registers 170 degrees F.
· Remove the chicken from the beer can very carefully with tongs and a large fork. It will be very hot and there will be steam. Move to a platter and cover loosely with foil. Let rest for 10 minutes.
· Carve the chicken and drizzle pan juices over it. Serve with extra Beerlicious Sauce.
