With that being said we have been eating out a lot and not good "oh I should put this on my blog" place and I was sick of it! So I did a big grocery shopping trip. I have a refrigerator, grill, and microwave so I've been making it work... Kind of but my family and is body's were ready for some good home cooked food! I chose the grill as my weapon and it was a good choice! We had chicken on a beer can aka beer butt chicken aka beer can chicken, potatoes and corn on the cob. I am not the best on the grill and have never made chicken like this but i am proud to say, it was perfectly cooked, delicious and requested to be done again by all!
Chicken on a Beer Can:
1 whole chicken 3-4lbs
1 beer
1 cup butter, melted 1 1/2 tbs garlic salt
2 tsp onion powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp ground thyme
Preheat grill on low
Take giblets and such out and disregard or make gravy.
Melt butter and mix in all seasonings.
Pour and brush all over chicken and under skin.
Drink 1/2 of the beer.
Put half of beer on middle of pan and put chicken on top inserting it in the cavity.
Cook on low with top down for 2-3 hours.
Check internal temp on thigh is 180!
Let rest 10 min.
Carve and serve.
For the potatoes; I just quartered small gold potatoes. Added butter and season salt and but in a tin foil packet. Cooked on grill off heat for 30-45 minutes.
Corn; it came still 1/2 in the husk and I left it that way. A little butter, salt and pepper. Wrapped each one in tin foil and cooked on the grill over the heat for 25-30 minutes .
It was easy but did take some time and prep but so worth it!
Enjoy and leave me a comment with your experience!
