The Beer Butt Chicken Story

Cooking on the grill is fun. It involves fire. It usually involves meat. And it brings out the best...and the stupid....in people.

Enter...."the Beer Butt Chicken".



Some of you may have cooked "Beer Can Chicken" before. It involves putting a variety of spices into a half full beer can, shoving said beer can into the opening of a whole chicken, and then sitting the chicken, which looks like it might spring up and off the grill with a resounding "OW!" at any moment, on the grill for an hour or two to cook.

We did this.

We recommend not coating the chicken with barbeque sauce first as it tends to turn into a flaming inferno eventually.


Kudos to Dylan for not dropping the chicken.

Eventually, though, once the skin is removed, the chicken turns out pretty darn good. Very moist for being a crispy critter.


And, if you have a dog, the clean-up really isn't that bad.


All in all, another successful grilling adventure.
All fingers and eyebrows accounted for.

Hey, found your post on beer chicken while doing a google search. I will be bbquing beer chicken tomorrow night. I'll be sure not to use barbeque sauce.
