I spray my chicken with a mixture of 2 cups apple cider and 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar. This adds moisture to the crisp skin, but will require an additional 15 to 30 minutes of cooking time. —Steve Bath, Lincoln, Nebraska

I too have been making this for years and everyone seems to love it. Any rub will do. I use Crystal hot sauce all over and Lawry's season salt and rub them both in good...inside and out. Fresh Basil under the skin is also nice or fresh herbs in the can. I always make an extra chicken for other meals during the week (ie: Chinese Chicken Salad, White Chicken Chili, or Chicken Enchiladas). We just call it Chicken on a Beer Can. Enjoy!!

We call this recipe beer butt chicken and having it tonight actually. We make it both out on the grill or in the oven. I also put an onion in the top to hold in the steam. Yummy!

We love this chicken, but I call it woozy chicken. I use a tall boy can of bud (16oz) and I guzzle half of it (dump it out? are you crazy!). While I am woozy, I add fresh basil, thyme, and rosemary sprigs to the beer can for added flavor. I stuff the chicken butt with a peeled onion, to keep the steam and flavor trapped. Yum. And the leftovers, should you have any, make for a great chicken salad.

Are you sure it's not removing the can from the chicken? LOL. But seriously, you can use a little cider vinegar sweetened with a little sugar and save yourself the expense of balsamic- high priced stuff. Just my nickels' worth (inflation, ya know). If you're goin' that far with it, use Guinness- amazing results!

We've been wanting to try this. Thanks for a great-sounding recipe! bdieges-there's beer bread and beer batter onion rings, just to name a couple other 'uses'. I don't drink beer,but it adds great flavor.

Set aside half a can of beer for another use? I thought beer was intended for only one "use", as a beverage. Here it can be both used for cooking AND a beverage.
