    List of Ingredients




    Grilled Cajun Beer Can Chicken from David


    1 3 1/2 to 4 pound chicken
    1 12-ounce can of beer
    4 teaspoons dry Cajun seasoning

    Recipe




    Using a bottle opener, make three more openings in the top
    of the can. Empty 1/3 of the beer out to make it only 2/3
    full of liquid. Lightly oil the exterior of the can with
    salad oil. Wash chicken inside and out and pat dry with
    paper towels. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of dry Cajun seasoning
    (optional) into the cavity and two teaspoons over the
    outside of the chicken. Put a little foil on the tips of
    the leg bones to prevent blackening.


    Set up gas or charcoal grill for indirect grilling. For
    charcoal grills, mound briquettes into two piles on opposite
    sides of grill. Light. Preheat only one side of gas grill,
    at a temperature of 350 degrees.


    Stand the beer can on an aluminum pie plate, piece of
    aluminum foil, or special beer can chicken roasting pan.


    Carefully ease the chicken onto the can, and spread
    drumsticks away from the body to support the bird in a
    tripod position. Add chicken, locating the bird between
    the two piles of charcoal on charcoal grills, or on the
    side away from heat on gas grills. Cover the grill and
    barbeque chicken over indirect heat for about 1 1/2 - 2
    hours, or until the breast meat reaches 165 degrees.


    Remove chicken carefully, as there may be hot liquid
    remaining in the can.


    Makes 4 Servings
