Beer can chicken

Been a long time since I cooked a beer can chicken! It’s going to be a simple cook with no fancy sides, probably just some brown rice and a spinach salad.

Ive been on a diet, so Im cooking healthy for the most part :-) 

Rinsed, patted dry, sprayed canola oil and liberally applied an all purpose seasoning. Hickory chips and a few apple chunks. Cooking low 225-250, for the first 45-60min then will bump temp up to 350ish to crisp up the skin and finish.



I will post a few more pics when done cooking

  • Looks like a good start.
    i like to put a drip pan on top of conveggtor with veggies in it, so they cook in the chicken juices.

    That sounds good, next time I’ll try it!

    Sweet potatoe spinach salad with low fat yogurt ranch and breast meat 

    that’s a wrap
