Can soda can chicken be better than beer can chicken? I've always said that beer can chicken is a BBQ classic. People love to make it and it's so fun. It's a great way to cook a bird to get succulent and juicy chicken. Every time I make it and post it on social media, my friend Jonathan Fox from Fox Bros Bar-B-Q in Georgia tells me to "save the beer and make it with a Dr. Pepper instead." He has always told me he loves the sweet and nutty flavor that it delivers plus you save the beer to drink!
Dr. Pepper is such an iconic part of Texas history considering it was born in Waco, TX. In this recipe we make Dr. Pepper Chicken with a pure cane sugar Dr. Pepper (Wal-Mart), so no high fructose corn syrup. We also make a very delicious Dr. Pepper BBQ sauce to glaze the chicken with near the end.

Beer can chicken is for real.. The years I’ve been making it I’ve found that if you cut a potato into a wedge to fit snug in the neck cavity it will prevent the beer/soda from evaporating through the chicken it will help keep all the moisture within the chicken.. You must try;) enjoy..

@JT-zb2yn Год назад

That's a great idea. 👍

Smart, taking notes here!

@akilla4reala669 Год назад

@kjewell91 Год назад

It’s great if you don’t season it like an asshole. I guarantee you that chicken was salty from all the salt based EVERYTHING he seasoned it with and crept the beer. Lord have mercy. Good til your ankles are bigger than your neck.

@kjewell91 Год назад

Lmfao judges bbq?! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA don’t throw us such bullshit. Tell us what it actually is. You say judges best and then talk shit about the bbq and then talk good about it again? Juicy? Easy. Taste not salty af and not be bribed like some sourpuss old Navy Vet? C’mon brotha!

Did a Dr Pepper chicken in a bbq school here in AZ and it was great. I was making potato skins not long ago and decided to use the left over potatoes to stuff bell peppers. Mixed the potatoes with sour cream, cheese, and bacon bits. Topped with skirt steak and cheese. I was curious to see someone else’s thoughts on the idea. The skins were also topped with skirt steak, which turned out great.

I remember passing through Dublin, Texas as a kid many times and we would always stop and stock up on Dublin Dr. Pepper. Sadly, the plant closed down when I was in high school. Nothing beat an ice cold Dublin Dr. Pepper on a summer night.

@joecanon5527 Год назад

so i did this recipe today. literally just finished eating. chicken was 6 lbs. fed 2 adults and 2 kids. might have a 1/2 lb of meat left. Oh my goodness! The best smoked chicken i have ever had. I made the sauce too but used a little apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, ground mustard. Holy shoot! Love your channel!

@kylemangum4124 Год назад

I went to Fox Bros back in 2016. Had no idea they were from Texas that’s why it was so good!🤣 got some fried okra and two buddies from Indiana that were with me had never even heard of okra, so I made ‘em try it! They liked it! One of them loved it🤣

I want to mention that we really love the Texas sugar rub as well Matt!! Thanksgiving bird was dry-brined with a little kosher salt and Texas sugar, turned out phenomenal!! Great video Matt

@MSparks9509 Год назад

If you’re using a pellet grill try cooking at 375-400 for a crispier skin. And don’t baste the outside during the cook. Just season it and let it ride

@MeatChurchBBQ Год назад

Dry brine, higher cook temp, no sauce for crispy skin if that is your goal.

@thecrispyberger Год назад

I made this for my daughter’s 8th grade literature class today. They were supposed to have something which was from Alabama in the 1920s and 30s. So I made this chicken with your Alabama White BBQ sauce (white sauce traces back to 1926). The Dr P BBQ sauce on its own was legit. Combine that with a drizzle of the white sauce and in the words of Matt, I wasn’t “mad at it.”

@michaelmcfarlane7663 Год назад

Matt, my wife and I attended the Ft Worth Music Festival a few weeks ago and ate at the H3 Steakhouse. I had their Pork Tacos and my first thought was “These are amazing”. My second thought was “I think I can make these”. They use a “smoked salsa” and I had recently watched your video on making that. They used rotisserie cooked pork, but why not use pulled pork? You recently used Cholula sauce as a binder and this weekend I used it on a couple of pork butts and used Holy Cow for my seasoning. After pulling and shredding the pork I seasoned it with my own BBQ sauce which is very similar to your Dr Pepper Sauce (mine has some mustard, ground ginger, diced onion and diced pineapple), using just enough that you can taste some sweetness. Your smoked salsa was perfect and put these tacos over the top. I can’t wait to smoke another Pork Butt and try this with the Dr Pepper BBQ Sauce!

Thanks for all the videos and education. I am a better cook and BBQer because of you, Meat Church and your team. I would love to see a video series on Ceramic cookers. I have a Primo and absolutely love it. I know the BGEs and Kamado styles are very popular in backyards across the country. Would be cool to make comparisons, things like brisket upsidedown for heat protection. Pros and cons versus offsets and pellet grills. And maybe even some hot cooking, steaks, pizzas etc.
