List of Ingredients
1 3 to 4 pound whole chicken
1 12oz. can of beer
Garlic salt
Pepper
Recipe
Make sure that the chicken is well rinsed off and then pat dry with a paper towel. Coat the cavity of the bird with the garlic salt and the pepper. Then do the same to the outside of the bird, making sure that you completely cover it with the seasonings. Wrap your grill top with aluminum foil. This will help to prevent flame-ups and also aide in cleaning your grill when everything is said and done. Open beer and place open end first up into the cavity of the chicken. The bird should be able to stand by itself when the can is properly inserted.
On a gas grill with two (2) burners only turn on one at medium heat, placing the chicken over the burner that is turned off. Single burner grills should be set on low to medium heat and placed in the center of the grill away from any hot spots. Charcoal grills should have the coals spread evenly after they are white hot and place the chicken in the center if the grill.
Cover your grill and let the bird cook for at least 45 minutes but best if let stand for a full hour. The heat from the grill will make the beer start to boil, cooking the chicken from the inside out. When done, this bird will all but be falling apart. Enjoy!
Note: Larger game birds (pheasant, grouse, chukkar, ducks) can also be prepared this way.
