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 use a can Vernor's gingerale or 7up instead of the beer, and add 3 or 4 cloves of garlic to the can. I sprinkle sea salt , pepper ,and BBQ spice on the chicken, and place it in a foil pan on the barbecue . I baste with our favourite bbq sauce the last 30 minutes.

Very good and flavorable. We tried the recipe with root beer pop and WOW what a great flavor too. I even heard Dr. Pepper pop gives the Can Can Chicken a different flavor as well. Any way you look at it, It's a great concept to the ole bird recipe.bird !!

Recipe was very good and had a lot of flavor! I would reduce the salt though. I felt it was a little too salty. Other than that, I thought it was very good! Kids loved it!

Hi. i have been doing beer can chicken for years. We love it. This recipe is great. I have used beer, or wine, or even ginger ale if I have nothing else. I often put sage and chopped fresh garlic in the can. If I am not following this recipe, I might rub my chicken with a cajan blend, or a herb blend. Basically whatever I feel like, but I do enjoy something with a bit of a bite. It is hard to go wrong whis doing chicken this way on the barbie.

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!!
