Beer Can Chicken Recipe (Beer Can Chicken)
Beer can chicken recipe: you cook the chicken by steaming it on the inside and browning the outside in the oven. Follow the how-to steps with this method; keep the temperature constant, skip the resting, and allow the juices to disperse back into the chicken before serving.
Ingredients
Beer (330 ml) — 2 cans
Step-by-Step Method
Prepare oven, dry chicken
Preheat oven to 190°C. Dry the chicken thoroughly with paper towels; so the skin browns better. If you have one, you can put some water under the tray and cook it without burning the dripping oil.
Prepare beer and place chicken
Empty some of each beer can (about half a can). Place the box upright on a sturdy tray or baking rack. Carefully place the chicken on top of the emptied box; It is important to keep balance.
Season and cook
Apply salt and pepper evenly to the outside of the chicken and, if possible, under the skin. Put the chickens in the oven. Bake for about 90 minutes; The target internal temperature should be 74°C in the thigh area. Do not open the oven door frequently while cooking.
Rest and serve
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10–15 minutes. Then take out the can very carefully (there will be hot steam). Cut it into pieces and serve.
