Beer can chicken

Beer can chicken almost seems too good to be true — chicken and beer on the grill for the ultimate summer cookout? Really, it sounds like something out of a movie. However, this method of cooking is as easy as it is delicious, so the next time you fire up the grill, arm yourself with a chicken and a can of beer and watch as fantasy becomes reality.

You'll need a few spices, a can of beer, and a whole chicken to make a beer can of chicken. The chicken is seasoned before being placed on top of a half-empty beer can, with the can supporting the upright bird. The whole thing is then thrown on the grill, along with a drip pan. As the beer warms, it emits steam into the cavity of the chicken, infusing it with flavor and moisture. To get even more out of the brew, use a can opener to remove the entire top of the beer can — more steam will be able to escape, infusing your meat with even more of that tasty goodness.
