Take Memorial Day Up a Notch with a Tasty Beer Can Chicken Done on the Grill!
Get your grill ready for a delicious whole chicken that’s moist on the inside and crisp on the outside with McCormick’s beer can chicken recipe. The prep is easy with just four ingredients:
–a whole chicken,
–some olive oil,
–Grill-Mates Montreal Chicken Seasoning,
–and your favorite beer.
The secret to this tender, fall-off-the-bone chicken is the open beer can inserted into the cavity of the bird, which is cooked upright on the grill. While the chicken’s exterior is dry roasting, the interior is being bathed with the steam of the beer to keep the chicken meat wonderfully juicy.
Aside from being incredibly tender, this beer can grilled chicken makes a great conversation piece — perfect for your next summer cookout or any other large gathering! Serve it with BBQ potatoes and grilled mushrooms for a complete spread everyone will love.

INGREDIENTS 10 Servings
- 1 whole chicken (about 5 pounds)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup McCormick® Grill Mates® Montreal Chicken Seasoning
- 1 can (12 ounces) beer (your choice of the brand)
INSTRUCTIONS

Turn off burner(s) on one side of the grill.
Rub chicken with oil. Rub cavity with 1 tablespoon of the Chicken Seasoning.
Sprinkle the remaining Chicken Seasoning evenly over the surface of the chicken.- Remove about 2 ounces of beer and poke 2 holes in the top of the can.
Hold chicken upright (legs pointing down) and insert opened beer can into the cavity.
Stand chicken in an upright position on the unlit side of the grill.
Position legs to best support the chicken (similar to a tripod).
Close the lid. - Grill the chicken for about 1 & 1/2 hours or until cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F in the thigh).
Remove the can from chicken before serving.
TIPS AND TRICKS
To maintain medium heat (350°F to 375°F), keep the lid closed and adjust the lit burner as necessary.
Beer Can Chicken Version #2. (Stevie’s version when the weather isn’t cooperating)
If you are having bad weather in your area, you might not be able to use your grill.
You can easily get a great Beer Can Chicken by using your oven.
The trick with doing a beer can chicken is to use a large pot and fill the bottom of the pan with
some beer and spices. You place the beer can into the cavity of the chicken and put the chicken into
the large pot. Follow the same instructions from the Beer Can Chicken recipe.
You just need to check on the temperature of the chicken so that it’s not undercooked or overcooked.
A digital meat thermometer is an ideal tool to make sure your chicken is at the proper recipe
