CAJUN SMOKED BEER CAN CHICKEN



Cajun Smoked Beer Can Chicken image

This is the best chicken that I have ever had! I purchased a Big Green Egg Smoker and was looking for new recipes and discovered this. I found the recipe on the website The Smoker King (smokerking.com). I think the key part of this recipe is the injection. It makes the chicken so tender and juicy. The chicken is injected with a butter mixture. Leave it to me to find the only unhealthy recipe for chicken on the internet!

Provided by cstahl

Time 5h

Yield 1 chicken, 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

one whole chicken (3 or 4 lbs.)
3 garlic cloves
3 pieces of chopped onions
one 12 oz. beer
1/2 cup melted butter (room temperature)
2 tablespoons Tony Chachere's Seasoning (I used dizzy pig)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup vinegar
olive oil
tony chachere's seasoning to cover the outside of the chicken
1 cup apple cider
1/2 cup olive oil
spray bottle

Steps:

  • Directions:
  • 1. Whisk all injection ingredients together.
  • 2. Using a kitchen syringe, inject the liquid into various spots on the chicken. Try to be even as possible, injecting about 1/2 of the mixture into the breasts, and the other 1/2 throughout the rest of the chicken.
  • 3. Rub the chicken down with olive oil, and apply an even layer of Tony's Cajun Seasoning to the bird.
  • 4. Drink half of the beer, widen the opening at the top of the can, then put the garlic and onion in the can.
  • 5. Place the bird on the can. It should sit up by itself. You may have to prop the legs forward to make it sit up.
  • 6. Preheat your smoker to about 250 F degrees. I use hickory for chicken; charcoal works well too.
  • 7. Mix the mop ingredients in the spray bottle and shake before each use.
  • 8. Put the chicken on the smoker and spray the chicken with the mop about every 30 minutes to keep it moist.
  • 8. Smoke the chicken for 3-4 hours, or until the internal temperature of the thickest meat reaches 175 F Degrees.

BEER CAN CHICKEN

Provided by opal Fitzgerald

Categories     Whole Chicken

Time 2h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups hickory chips or 2 cups oak chips
2 (12 ounce) cans beer (plus additional if needed)
1/2 cup your favorite barbecue rub
2 whole chickens, fat removed washed and blotted dry (3 1/2 to 4-pound)

Steps:

  • Place wood chips in bowl.
  • Pop tabs of each beer can, and make 2 additional holes in each top, using a church-key opener.
  • Pour half the beer from each can over the chips.
  • Add additional beer or water to cover the chips, soak them for 1 hour and drain.
  • Set up grill for indirect grilling.
  • Sprinkle 1 teaspoon barbecue rub in neck cavity and 2 teaspoons in main cavity of each chicken.
  • Add 1 tablespoon rub to each open, half-full can of beer.
  • (Don't worry if it foams up.) Season outside of each bird with 2 tablespoons rub.
  • Stand beer cans on work surface. Holding each chicken upright, lower it over can so that can goes into main cavity.
  • Pull chicken legs forward to form a sort of tripod.
  • The chicken should sit upright over the can.
  • Carefully transfer chickens to grill in this same position, placing them in center over drip pan away from heat. If using charcoal, toss half the wood chips on each mound of coals.
  • If using gas, place chips in smoker box.Barbecue chickens until nicely browned and cooked through, About 1 1/2 hours, keeping temperature about 350 degrees F.
  • (If using charcoal, replenish coals as needed.) The internal temperature of the birds (taken in thickest part of thigh) should be 165°F.
  • Carefully transfer birds to platter in same position.
  • To carve lift bird off of can, and discard can.
  • You can use any seasoning on the birds and other flavorful liquids - not just beer in the can.
  • You can use a can of Coke or Sprite. Soda is more interesting than you might imagine. Just be sure you open the can first. Opal Fitzgerald Quinlan, Texas.
