Beer can chicken, or “chicken on a beer can”, is an absolute classic on the barbecue. It’s easy to prepare and delivers a juicy, flavorful result every time. In this recipe, we use the unique SAUGUAET rub from Helvetic Barbeque for an extra dose of flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken (approx. 1.5 kg)
- 2-3 tablespoons SAUGUAET Rub from Helvetic Barbeque
- 1 can of beer (0.5 l, e.g. a lager or pale ale)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Accessories
- Barbecue (charcoal, gas or pellet)
- Heat-resistant barbecue glove
- Meat thermometer
Preparation
- Preparing the chicken: Remove the chicken from the packaging and pat it dry inside and out with kitchen paper. Rub the chicken with olive oil to ensure the rub is evenly distributed.
- Seasoning: Sprinkle the SAUGUAET rub generously over the chicken and massage it in well. Make sure that the cavities are also seasoned.
- Prepare the beer can: Open the beer can and drink (or pour out) about half of the contents. Poke a few additional holes in the top of the can so that the steam can escape.
- Setting up the chicken: Place the chicken on the beer can so that the can is in the cavity of the chicken and the chicken is standing upright. The legs of the chicken should serve as a tripod to ensure stability.
- Grill: Prepare the grill for indirect heat (approx. 180°C). Place the chicken on the beer can in the indirect zone of the grill. Close the lid and grill the chicken for about 1 to 1.5 hours until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 75°C (insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the breast without touching the bone).
- Resting time: Carefully remove the chicken from the grill (use the heat-resistant grill gloves) and leave it to rest for 10 minutes before removing the beer can and cutting the chicken.
