When it&#8217;s time to grill, place the seasoned chicken over the can of beer and then onto the grill rack to cook for up to an hour and a half. The beer steams as it cooks, creating chicken that is juicy and flavorful on the inside, while the outside gets nice and crispy.

Check the cavity before you start cooking to make sure there are no bones or giblets stuffed inside, and remove them if there are.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Beer:<\/strong> Use one can of beer or nonalcoholic beer for this beer can chicken recipe. Keep it simple with a lager or pilsner, or use whatever you want to drink while you&#8217;re grilling.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Seasonings:<\/strong> This recipe calls for a simple spice rub of chicken seasoning, chili powder, paprika, dried basil and ground pepper. Mix these together to make a spice rub and sprinkle it evenly over the chicken.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sugar:<\/strong> Sugar is added to the spice rub to balance out the savory flavors. Our beer can chicken recipe calls for cane sugar but you can use brown sugar.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Canola oil:<\/strong> The chicken is brushed with some oil before it&#8217;s seasoned, which helps the skin get that golden brown outer coating.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lemon:<\/strong> Add extra aromatics by stuffing the chicken cavity with lemon slices before setting it over the beer can.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Season the chicken<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2059752 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Beer-Can-Chicken_TOHVS24_151394_MR_09_19_2.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"A person holding a spoon is mixing a variety of dried spices in a clear glass bowl.

Some people like to use Miller Light or Budweiser, but I am partial to my favorite inexpensive cans of beer like Montucky Cold Snack or PBR.
