Best Beer Butt Rosemary Chicken Recipes
ROSEMARY RUB BEER-BUTT / BEER CAN CHICKEN (W/ BOURBON)
This recipe changes a little every time I prepare it, but the foundation has been well received so far. I use a "McCormick" rosemary / garlic rub and a small bottle of "Jim Beam" bourbon as the rub. I like to use 2 whole chickens, and cook them on a "Cabelas" brand dual beer butt chicken stand. Also important, I usually drink heavily when I am making this great outdoor dish, so ratios tend to vary according to my mood at the time of preparation. I would recommend you create this dish to your taste preferences. Enjoy.

Steps:
- Preheat grill to 375°F preferably indirect heat (the oven works sorta-ok too).
- Empty beer cans by 1/4 to 1/3, then set them into stand.
- Place chickens over beer cans (try and keep them from touching).
- Grind 1 cup rosemary & garlic seasoning into a powder. Melt 3/4 stick of butter. Mix in powdered seasoning. Pour concoction into a meat flavor injector. Inject chickens in the middle of the breasts, thighs, and legs.
- Have a whiskey, or two.
- Spritz the chickens with bourbon. Inside and out (I use a squirt bottle).
- Rub entire bare skin of chickens with leftover 1/4 butter.
- Rub the rest of the seasoning into entire skin of chickens (maybe grind some more of the seasoning down a little to help the rubbing action).
- Maybe another shot of whiskey to clear the throat and mind?.
- Place chickens onto covered, and preheated grill.
- Cook for 2 hours, Every 10-15 minutes spritz chickens with bourbon. (leave lid shut when you do this. Go through the back and side vent on lid of grill).
- Finish off with a nice glass of bourbon on the rocks.

BEER BUTT ROSEMARY CHICKEN
This is the best chicken recipe ever, crispy on the outside and so very moist on the inside. It is a family favorite, and my kids can't get enough of it. I strain the veggies and use a little cornstarch and water to make a delicious gravy. Serve with a simple salad and rolls.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking dish. Pour out half the beer from the can, spray the can with cooking spray, and set it upright in the center of the baking sheet.
- Cut 2 thin slices from the orange, and set aside. Cut the rest of the orange into large chunks. Loosen the skin over the breast of the chicken, and insert an orange slice, an onion slice, and 1 rosemary sprig under the skin of each side of the breast. Place the orange chunks and 2 sprigs of rosemary into the cavity of the chicken.
- Spray the outside of the chicken with cooking oil spray, and sprinkle with seasoned salt to taste. Place the chicken onto the beer can in an upright position, with the can inserted into the cavity of the chicken. Pour the chicken broth into the baking dish, and place the rest of the sliced onion and the potatoes into the broth.
- Roast in the preheated oven until the skin is crisp, the meat is no longer pink at the bone, and the juices run clear, about 1 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
