Beer Can Chicken
  1. Prepare smoker or pellet grill at 350 degrees.

  2. Rinse & dry the chicken thoroughly. Apply a binder to help the seasoning adhere.

  3. Season liberally with The Gospel, including under the skin and inside the cavity.

  4. Start with a room temp beer. Remove the top and remove ⅓ - ½ of the beer.

  5. Place 1 more T of seasoning in the can. Add garlic and herbs.

  6. Place the can in the throne and then place the chicken on that throne.

  7. Place the bird upright in your cooker. A 5.5 lb bird will take approximately 90 minutes.

  8. Baste with melted butter 1-2 times during the cook, starting at the 45 minute mark.

  9. If you choose to sauce, apply that in the last few minutes of the cook.

  10. Target 160 degrees internal in the deepest part of the breast, then pull the chicken and let it cool.

  11. Carve and enjoy!
