Beer Can Chicken

List of Ingredients




1 whole chicken (about 2 1/2 pounds)
3/4 cup your favorite marinade
1 can beer

Put the chicken in a large sealable plastic bag and add your favorite marinade. Close the bag and turn it several times to make sure all of the chicken is coated with marinade. Refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight. On a 2 burner barbecue, light one burner and set it to medium heat. Open the can of beer and pour out about one 1/4 cup. (you can drink this if you would like) Make three more holes in top of the can. Remove the chicken from the marinade and throw out the bag. Slide the chicken with the legs pointing down, onto the can. The ends of the drumsticks should touch the bottom of the can and the chicken should stay upright on the can. Put the chicken and can over the unlit burner and use the legs to help keep the chicken upright. Close the barbecue lid. Grill for 45 minutes then turn the chicken 180 degrees to ensure even heating. Close the lid and continue cooking for another 45 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted in the breast reads 180°F. Remove the chicken and can from the barbecue and put them on a plate so that the can remains upright. Let stand for 15 minutes. The can and liquid will be very hot, so be careful. Gently lift the chicken off the can and put the chicken on a cutting board, and cut to serve.

This recipe also works with a can of lemonade instead of beer
