Kettle Grill Beer Can Chicken vs. BGE Beer Can Chicken

Homebrewguy

Well, I cooked my first beer can chicken on my LBGE tonight and I was amazed at the difference in the chicken between the LBGE and a regular charcoal kettle grill.  The chicken tonight was to damn tender and juicy I was floored.

I cooked it at 375 indirect.

Cooked to 180 internal at the thigh and it was done so quick I moved the probe to the breast and it was 165, so I pulled it.

Looks damn good.  That chicken looks like a Kardashian.

This is an all natural Amish chicken...it hasn't had cosmetic surgery.

Nice looking bird!

Did you have a drip pan below? I see platesetter through the slots. Some don't mind, but just to help keep things clean, I usually have a drip pan sitting on the plate setter with a cheap cooling rack in between to prevent anything that drips from scorching & smoking.

the chicken looks great!  i used to do beer can chicken a lot until i tried my first spatchcock chicken.  i'll never go back to beer can.  it's just as juicy & a ton quicker.

I was shocked at how quickly this one finished.  It only took about 45 minutes.
