greychamp Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 I cooked three beer can chickens this past Sunday. The skin was crisp, the meat VERY moist and the smoke flavor excellent. Here's the recipe. 3 chickens about 4-5 lbs. each Rub: 4T kosher salt 4T turbinado sugar 1 T garlic powder 1 T onion powder 2 t poultry seasoning 2 t black pepper Work your fingers between the skin and the meat of the chicken. Put rub between the skin and the meat of each chicken as well as in the body cavity. Preheat KK to 3500F using three hickory chunks. Put each chicken on a beer can half filled with beer or on a ceramic chicken sitter half filled with beer. (Cheap beer works fine.) Cook chickens for 2 hours over indirect heat. Let rest for 10 minutes. Enjoy!! BTW, below you'll find a picture of me with my beer can chickens on my KK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
