How to: Make Beer Can Chicken 

remember to always use budweiser as it is 99% water and can steam better

The fact that he has a poker face this entire video makes it that much funnier

That guy is chill as hell.

Pro tip: Add a couple garlic cloves to your 1/2 can of beer when cooking. Adds some good flavor.

I like the way this guy speaks, it's very comforting.

Reading some of the comments, why are some people getting so offended by this guy and what he's doing haha. He's actually one of the most chill laid back guys they've ever had on this channel.

I bet that loose ass chicken was still like "It's my first time."

"beer in there, cant hurt right? more beer"

"instagram it or some shit..."...

I do the beer can chicken in the oven and always put some of the rub in to the beer can too. Works really well!!!!

how this dish was invented: dude: hey, bro, I bet this beer can would totally fit in that chickens ass bro: Dude, no way! Dude: seriously bro, watch this [dude proceeds to stuff a beer can in a chickens ass] bro: Dude! you were right, I bet that would taste sweet if you coked it up like that, stick it on the BBQ dude: that's why I love you bro, that's why I love you, high five! [they high five over the BBQ and a legend is born]

You know when a drunk chicken is done? .....When it's falling over lol

“At this point….we chill”. That BBQ dude

I've done it many times and it works great. My favorite way to make extra juicy whole bbq chicken. Closest thing to rotisserie without a rotisserie. Also to comment at 4:20 , the bottom of the beer can is in direct heat therefore the beer isn't overprotected by the chicken and it does evaporate. The alcohol evaporates as well softening the meat as it cooks.

"I don't know if it does anything, but... But I think it does..." *B E A U T I F U L*

" any recipe that starts with Open A Can Of Beer, is a great recipe" - proverbs 5:30

He sounds like a tougher Ed Norton

I love it how he explained the origins lol XD, I'm sure it was just some guy drinking some beer with chicken around

Beer can chicken tastes great. Tip: if you use a "tall boy" can, it keeps those lower chicken legs a little higher off the grill and they have a less chance of over cooking or burning. Also with your beer can half full, punch holes throughout the top portion of the can above the beer level. This allows added area for the beer to evaporate from the can into the bird adding more beer flavour and moisture. 😋 You're welcome.

At this time, its time to have 1 of the 5 beers you have left. So, every 15 mins is about a beer or so. That's how I'm picking up what you're putting down. Good advice, my timer works better that way. Good, easy, simple directions. Thanks for sharing!👍🏻

I work for a can company and yes most fillers do not make there own cans!!! The fire has to be more than three fifty degrees before the varnish ( clear coat) not the paint comes off and yes the varnish is water based

Love cooking chicken this way!

"I don't know if that does anything... I think it does" Aaaaaand, you won me over.

Drunk chickens are the best and this guy is the coolest

have been doing this for years. I cut the top off of the can,drain half into my mouth and heat the rest in the microwave (not in the can jack ass) so it's almost boiling and return to can. helps the steam

All the ways I know to do this include using a half full beer and then adding some spices, hot sauce, garlic, whatever to the beer inside for extra flavoring in the steaming aspect. Trust me, it adds.

I remember my Dad making a bunch of these for his biker buds. So tasty, I remember him using Ice House as his beer.

Mexico has tacos, Canada has maple syrup, & the US has beer can chicken.

Loved the music, your personality, and how it was filmed/edited. Well done, thanks man!

This guy is super chill. Couldn't stop laughing!

This blokes commentary is second to none haha 😂 👌

"beer-butt chicken" is how i've heard it called in the south

white heaven is filled with beer can chicken and watermelon chobani

Great recipe. I am of the opinion that the beer should be room temperature. Some other recommendations I use to make mine always come out fantastic: - cut off the top or open up the beer can and add thyme, rosemary, garlic cloves, and some of the rub to help flavor - buy a beer throne. they are $10 or less at any place that sells bbq/grill equipment - add baking powder to your run to keep the skin crispy

3:34 "at this point... we chill (CHILL FACE)"

He said. "Generously rub this guy" lmfao 😂 😂

I usually put a stick of butter, jalapeno, lemon, and garlic in the can....along with the half full beer.

man that aluminimum melting and toxic plastic pain coating really spices up the taste

Love the straight forward commentary! Don't sugar coat it...darn right I'll drink the remaining beers! LOL Good video...very close to how I do mine.

its like what goes on at shaq's house every night

Had this sort of chicken in Thailand but they have loads of spices stuff inside chicken while it roast. Nice!!

This dude seems chill af. Wish he was my neighbor 👍🏼

4:44 Yeah that's gonna be 11 beers left for me, brother. Not 5.

dad finalform

I'm calling the cops. He's sexually abusing that chicken.

Bro, I followed your directions from your video to a T. You are my hero! My beer can chicken was absolutely delicious!

The best recipe is six pack chicken - place the chicken on a pre-heated grill on top of a can of beer, once you drink the other 5 cans of beer, dinner is ready

You dont have to use beer, Ive used flavored mineral water in can (because it was cheaper than beer) and it worked just as well. The key is the liquid, he alcohol in the beer does not make much difference in the cooking.

tends to help if you put the seasoning (salt, pepper, spices etc) on the inside too as when it heats the heat will sweat it into the flesh. great stuff man!

We live in a glorious age, what a time to be alive.

I tried this and i have to say it was the best chicken i have ever tasted in my life!

Remember me and my dad used to do this, but there was no chicken or barbeque, he’d just drink and beat me

Want to know why there is a debate whether this works or not? There's a reason he didn't notice a difference on beer used. No way the beer boils. As you cook, both the meat, which is 70% water, and the beer, which is 90% water, heat at about the same rate. When you are done cooking, when the meat hits 165°F, the beer will also be about 165°F, well below the boiling point of water which is 212°F. Now some of the beer at the bottom of the can may be hotter, but the cooler beer above will mix with it via convection, so there is no way it will come close to the boiling point. There is still some evaporation from the beer at that low temp, but very very little. So, hardly any moisture escapes the can. So how can it moisturize the meat ? And anyone who says it crisps the skin, which is separated from the can by at least 1" of meat really has been smoking more than chicken. All beer can chicken is, is rotisserie chicken. Standing the chicken lets it cook evenly. You'd get the same result without the beer.

Best piece of advice on here: get a 6 pack to enjoy the other 5 beers. Good excuse to slam some buds on the weekend before chowin down on some chicken

I empty the beer and add water and garlic cloves in the can. A bit lessthan halfway. The steam is much more intense and aromatic

This video was oddly satisfying. Why.

This is pretty bro of you munchies, more of the bro stuff please!!!

You can even pre brine ,then give super heavy coating of your favorite rub and smoke hard and slow comes out fantastic you can even tack on some of your fav bbq sauce in the last 30 for a sticky little bite😮

Great job!!! "Probably just some guy drinking a beer" LOLOLOL

"good range of motion"

This guys energy level is a whole mood. #imchillin

Been baking this for year's love it❤❤

I just made a wonderful dinner for my wife & I because of your video thank you so much...

I remember my dad making this but he would put wine in an empty beer can, he wouldn't use the beer

so were going to roast an aluminum beer can inside of a chicken. weeeee. alzheimers here we come.

"Instagram and shi+" lol

Great job. I do it in the oven at 350 F for 90 minutes. Try half lemon and a couple of garlic cloves the beer. And DO NOT use a 16 oz. can, the bird falls over like drunk.

where have i seen this before ..... oh yeah (one man one jar :o)

I Used to love beer can chicken, but last time my family tried this like 6 people got aluminum poising. specially this can of Budweiser in the video look how much ink is on the can.

Not quite sure why, but the dry rub and the beer can reminds me of the last time I visited a massage parlour in Bangkok.

"more beer, it cant hurt" no sir it cant, beer is the liquid of gods, the more beer the better!

......and the paint on the outside of the can which is full of chemicals is getting cooked into the chicken. Smart one real genius.

His humour is almost as dry as that chicken without the beer

"the bird" love this guy hahaha

"Fuckin take a picture for Instagram or some shit." 😂😂 shit made me laugh

Did he say "spatchuler" ??

I'm not an expert but there's an awful lot of paint on that can, wouldn't the heat make it a toxic fume?

I generally suggest buying a 12 pack , one for the chicken, 11 for me!

I like this guy. More episodes!

Nice! But what about the chems on that label leaching on to the meat?

Don't you worry about the chemicals transferred to the chicken from the can's paintwork?

I can’t imagine this emerging on my phone at a better time. What do Budweiser drinkers do with their beer? Well friends watch the video and find out.

we do it sometimes with some orange juice in the beer , its awesome

When girls says, "It's my first time, be gentle."

Oh mawng, tasty aluminium.

An old friend would make beer butt chicken. he would drink the beer then fill it half full of water then season the bird and cook it was always very good.

Nice like the originality bro thanks for keeping it real good vibes from San Francisco California 🤙🍻

I really like the plastic flavor inside, thanks.

what about the plastic coating on the cans? and the inks??

Idk if it wud made a differance but i wud put garlic rosmarin and some other stuff in the beer can to intense the flavor

Came up with new idea beer can chicken chips and lemon pepper chicken chips.

the paint on the can is extremely unhealthy especially with heat

Doesn't an aluminum (can) produce a toxic substance when heated to high temperatures?

The best beer can cooking chicken I've ever seen you're awesome.

He touched the chicken with the charcoal glove

is there an alternative as to the beer can? i dont want lead paint heated on my chicken

Epic Meal Time did it better :p

this guys my hero

Best video i subscribed

wouldn't the plastic on the inside of the can give off fumes and poison your chicken? i cant see this being safe honestly.
