We fire up the @OklahomaJoesSmokers Bronco Drum for this cook and make a beer can chicken. The chicken comes out juicy, tasty and with amazing crispy skin all over. But was the beer can worth it? Check the video out to see!

I made my first beer can chicken on my Weber kettle yesterday, I used some apple wood chunks to smoke it, it turned out amazing, very juicy and cooked evenly. The chicken kept faling over when I opened or closed the lid so I’ve bought a chicken stand as the can wasn’t very stable! great video. cheers

Love it, I do mine with sliced lemon under the skin with herb and garlic butter, I then put a half lemon hat over the top of the neck cavity, also I only use a half can of beer so it comes to a boil quicker creating more steam inside the chook, never fails

I did my first beer can chicken using the Weber accessory, and it was probably the best tasting chicken I've had in a long while, and it was very moist. So I think that alone makes it worth it, even if it doesn't necessarily pick up the flavor of what's in the can.

Couple of tips. Drink half the can - no point wasting it. Second use a tin opener and take the lid off the can. More moisture should escape the can instead of just through the wee drinking hole

Just the man I was looking for haha cheers legend!

Another great video bro. Skin looks epic. Another great cook on the Bronco

[adamfraser]

A can of Woodstock definitely imparts flavour! Give it a crack if you like Bourbon! Great content mate. Keep em coming.

I've done half dozen or so beer can chickens. It becomes apparent that when the chicken is done, all of the beer is still in the can. So, better to drink the beer and use a rack to support the chicken. : )

you should check out amazing ribs website, they have an article debunking a lot of "benefits" you get from beer can kitchen. long story short, the beer never gets hot enough inside the chicken to start boiling or releasing steam/flavor...so it's a waste of a beer. It scores a 10/10 in presentation for me though over spatchcocking it but in terms of flavor, moisture, crispy skin, it's about the same.

Sound of that skin is something else yummmm!

[adamshields]

Defiantly want to give this a go but any chicken smoked over charcoal tastes amazing as I know this one would

[stihl]

Yummo, would love to try this. There are dedicated stainless steel "cans" I've seen for Beer Butt Chicken. Beer cans are lined internally with a thin film of plastic now which is great for shelf life and hoppy flavour retention but not sure whether it's an issue for BBChicken.

That chicken is massive, I drink half the can and add Worcestershire, Soy sauce and a couple of other things in the can.

Duck fat spuds are great, as are beef tallow rendered down !

[adamnorton]

You should redo this on the Webber kettle

[edwardwilliams]

Beer can chicken is da bomb.. Stays sooo juicy.. When are you smoking a big Turkey 🦃🥳😎

[bullparnu]

Hey mate looked pretty good. I split my chooks then smoke them they always come out juicy as. I also do a brined chicken wing on the Traeger kids go mad for them. Wouldn’t mind seeing your take on something brined. Cheers

[simong]

Can you do a video on brining mate? When to do it and how? Cheers!
