I'm a simple type of guy who likes to make food that's relatively simple. The other night, i made beer-butt chicken.
It's great, cheap, and super easy.
Ingredients
1 whole chicken fryer
Chicken Rub (any kind, Emeril, Lawry’s is especially good and local)
1 can of beer (1/2 – 3/4 full)
Directions
- Remove the insides from the chicken
- Wash inside and out with cold water, pat dry
- Apply rub to the chicken (before you apply the rub, you can coat the skin with some softened butter if you want...mmmm butter)
- Insert the can of beer into the chicken
- Stand the chicken upright in a baking dish/pan, use the beer can to balance it
- Cook at 350 for 1 ¼ -2 hrs (These are oven instructions. Also, if you have 3 hours It’s even better at a low heat on the grill or in the oven at 225-250)
- Cook to internal temp of 180.
