(our bird dancing on the grill alongside some sweet potatoes for Grilled Sweet Potato Salad…)
The directions for the Beer Can Chicken method can be found here on The Barbeque Bible’s website. See below for the great multi-purpose BBQ rub we used also found on the site and cookbook.
Our bird got a little charred while on the grill…what we learned that it’s best to keep the burners turned off under the chicken…the heat from the other two burners was more than enough to cook the chicken up nicely. We all got a kick out of checking on the bird…he looked quite happy dancing on that grill…:)
Basic Barbeque Rub
Recipe from Steven Raichlen’s How To Grill cookbook
1/4 cup coarse salt (kosher or sea)
1/4 cup (packed) dark brown sugar
1/4 cup paprika
3 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon dried onion flakes
1/2 to 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon celery seeds
Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and stir or whisk to mix. Transfer to a jar, cover, and store away from heat and light. The rub will keep for several months.
Makes 1 cup

It looks like everyone had a marvelous time except, of course, the chicken whose time for trial by fire had come. You did a great job and your rub really sounds terrific. Have a great day.

I've yet to make beer can chicken although I am sure my husband would love it.
Your curried couscous down below looks amazing too.

Aggie,
We all had a great time and we really enjoyed making and eating this chicken. It was soooooo good! And fun to make! I think a bird will be on my grill this weekend.

That looks amazing. I've been wanting to make beer can chicken for ages, but my oven is too small (as sad as that is) and I don't have a yard to grill. I'll have to live vicariously through you.

This…looks…heavenly!! I definitely need to give this a try as the rub sounds so delicious.

I received a recipe for beer can chicken from my sister and never made it yet. I'll have to because looking at your pictures it looks really good.

Your chicken looks quite happy dancing around on the grill! I've been meaning to try beer can chicken for awhile so I'll have to go check the recipe out. Thanks for sharing!

I made a beer can chicken last year and we totally loved it. I don't mind the charring a bit.

Looks like such a fun visit! And I am loving this beer can chicken – it just totally cracks me up. It is like an instant party, just insert beer can into chicken. I am so trying this!

Yum, your pictures make me want to BBQ! Both the chicken and corn look great and the spice rub very flavorful! Glad you enjoyed your vacation!

We love beer can chicken so much that we bought a special metal stand that holds the beer can and stabilizes the chicken. They even have one that holds two chickens.

That whole meal looks amazing! I have had beer can chicken before and love it…it's so moist and juicy!
June 16th, 2009 at 9:53 pm
The beer can is hysterical, but why not? It always works to stand your chicken upright. Everything looks delicious.
June 16th, 2009 at 10:07 pm
I've always wanted to try this, it looks like such a fun way to make chicken! Fun vacay!

You know, I've wondered about trying the beer can chicken for my husband, but it just doesn't look very pretty sitting atop of that can. I think it might give me the giggles then dinner would be ruined.

We just had beer can chicken the other night at my parents house! It turned out delicious!

No, no no more pool photos!!!!!! I am missing home more and more!
I have to ask an exterior question.. I have been looking for new furniture and the lounge (white lounge) in the back caught my eye, can you e-mail me and let me know where you bought it, I'd like to import it, I've been searching and searching for white lawn furniture since forever.
The BBQ….. I am on my way.. next flight out from Tokyo to Fl.

I'm making this for dinner tonight. I think I'll try to shoot it, but I don't think it will be as pretty as your picture!
