I find myself watching more of your videos so I subscribed. I like the trial and error element because that's what its all about.

Tried this even without the sauce and it is still the best whole chicken i've every smoked. Easy prep too and juiciest chicken i ever cooked.

Hey, here's a tip that I picked up (someplace) on YouTube for beer can chicken. Grab an onion or potato, trim it down to fit into the neck hole, and cram that puppy in there! I've tried with and without and noticed more moisture was getting into the bird with that plug. Total guess here, but the beer (and steam) starts to evaporate and infuse from the inside contributing to the cooking process and not escaping (however I don't recall any significant reduction in the total cook time). It makes sense and my beer can chicken seems moister that way. Otherwise, thanks for a fantastic demonstration! I'm seriously considering trying out your Spatchcock method next... just gotta score one of those kitchen pans first!

Nice video, Joe. Fellow Midwesterner here (I live near Milwaukee). I got hip to your content via Brad's videos, and now the two of you plus Yoder have done a lot to help me step up my BBQ game. So, thanks for that!

One thing that I've done differently with my beer cans is that I use a can opener to completely remove the top. Then (with care) drink about a third of it (not trying to end up like Ledger's Joker). Once it's wide open I've dumped some spices inside the can thinking that it would permeate and flavor the inside of the cavity. That being said, I don't think I've cooked a chicken on a beer can since I got hip to the whole spatchcock thing.

Anyhow, enjoy yourself at the WCSO. One of these years I'll be there. Peace.

First time I knew of your channel was a Chud shoutout. I really enjoy your videos and the way you explain why things work. I'm glad I happened upon the channel. Also - I'm a midwest guy that likes the Texas style better as well. Mighty Joe!

Great video Joe. Keep the awesome content coming. You are among my favorite BBQ YouTubers.

Im new to grilling and just have a pellet gril. I have a chicken throne i use instead of the can so the opening is bigger. Not sure if it helps all, but the ones ive made have been great. need to try spatchcock and potentially this method. looks awesome!

[dwprado]

Dude I am doing this soon! Great idea Joe!

[ffwoozy]

Love the hotel pan idea mighty Joe hope to see you at Windy City!!

[RenBobbins]

I’m absolutely gonna try the “new way” this weekend!

[brianmichael]

I am going to give this a try myself. Thanks for the inspiration!

[BigDaddyDuke]

Good video I just started spatchcocking chicken and it has become my favorite way just because you can cook it to the correct temperature.

[MrWillowbeard]

Excellent video, Joe! SpatchCOCK chicken looking amazing!

[t.j.peterson]

Beer can chicken is now beer pan chicken! They both look delicious!!

[gtsum]

Nice job! My next chicken will be over the pan like you did..great idea! Love the new pit also..I have a workhorse 1975 and that primitive 250 would be the next one I get
