The magic of Beer Can Chicken lies in the unique cooking method that allows the chickens to roast uniformly while infusing them with rich flavors from the beer.

With a blend of aromatic spices including paprika, garlic powder, and dried thyme, each bite bursts with savory goodness that will leave you craving more.

Ingredients

  • 24 oz beer canned
  •  roasting chickens whole ( 4 lb. each)
  • tablespoon thyme dried
  • tablespoon garlic powder 
  • tablespoon onion powder 
  • tablespoon paprika 
  • servings salt and pepper 

Equipment

  • oven
  • roasting pan

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Rinse chickens inside and out; pat dry thoroughly.
  2. Mix paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, salt and pepper. Rub chickens (inside and outside) with spice mixture.
  3. Pour about 2 oz. beer out of each can. Set cans upright in a roasting pan large enough to hold both chickens without touching. Set chickens so that cans fit inside cavities, legs facing down. Roast chickens until juices run clear, about 1 hour 15 minutes, basting after 30 minutes.
  4. Carefully remove chickens from beer cans and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Carve into portions and serve.
