recipes SEARCH BY TAGS: BEER CAN CHICKEN 12.03.2015 "Beer Can Chicken" is a really popular way to do chickens on the barbecue, and there's a reason why. Allowing the beer to steam inside the cavity keeps the meat really moist and tender, which is often a problem when trying to cook a whole bird over fairly high heat. While the beer does help build some flavour, your chicken won't end up tasting like the beer, so it really doesn't matter what kind of beer you use (this isn't comparable to the if-you-won't-drink-it-don't-cook-with-it wine rule). The real purpose of the brew is to keep the meat from drying out. Pair this method with a flavourful feta brine, like I've done here, and you will end up with the juiciest chicken you've ever tasted. Since you're barbecuing or roasting for some time, the skin will still crisp up nicely, resulting in a seriously flavorful, succulent bird.
