Beer can chicken

[ants]

Anyone ever try this??? If so how is it done? The wife wants to try it but I thought you need some kind of special holder for the can & bird. Thanks

yes we have on grill on in oven also with coke. empty no drink a bit of it and prop it up. i have wrapped tip if wings and legs just so they don't burn. comes our moist. i now have a ceramic dish that look like a volcano ( like the big drinks that you get at Chinese restaurants) for the oven comes out very moist, worth trying it

You can do with or with out a holder but it is a lot easier with a can holder. I take a piece of kitchen twine and just put a tie around the body to hold the wings to the body to keep from burning. Drink half the beer or soda and rinse and pat dry the bird I rub on a bit of evo and some rub. Check with a thermometer for doneness.

Simple and very tasty.
