Beer Can Chicken on the Weber Kettle | Flame | COOKING WITH BIG CAT 305

Cooked a delicious easy Beer Can Chicken on the Weber Kettle. Very few ingredients and fun to make!!!
Very simple recipe and you can make this on any grill (gas or charcoal). Get yourself a whole chicken, some olive oil, your favorite rub and a half drunk beer. There's your ingredients. Separate the chicken skin in the breast and leg area using your fingers and season that bird under the skin. Oil the outside of the skin and season the entire outside. Get that grill up to 325-350 degrees set up for indirect heat. I highly recommend getting a temp probe (mine is in the link below) to check the internal temp which should finish at about 165 degrees. Place chicken on top of the half full beer (ouch) and sit in a tin pan on the indirect heat. For a 5lb bird it will take about 1:15-1:30 hours. Fill the pan with another half or full beer and use that to baste every 15 minutes or so. After its done let it rest for about 10 minutes and enjoy!!!

Beer can chicken sounds better than can chicken. Difference or not, who knows. I say use what you like! I use beer and the guest are always impressed with BEER can chicken, so I use it. big hands = big gloves! lol, I did one of these on my Chanel a few weeks ago. Take care BC!

[@cookingwithbigcat]

Funny thanks Johnny, I just watched your video. I liked the way you put the garlic and marinade in the beer can as well.

[@bromikeg5391]

Wow 😍🐓🐓😍 I love chicken recipe like this one I've joined you and big liked 34 my friend 🙏🙏🙏

[@cookingwithbigcat]

Thanks bro!!! Appreciate the comment and watching!!!

[@mikehedlund9631]

I've done lots of beer can chickens using different beers and sodas (even water). I've never tasted any difference, I think it's more to add moisture to the inside of the chicken cavity.

[@cookingwithbigcat]

I agree with you 100%!! I just like the name LOL!!! Thanks for the comment!!!

[@CookingwithStephennJacklyn]

Great looking bird and basting that chicken with its own juices with the beer I can just imagine the flavors absolutely mouthwatering. Nice cook bro! From Trinidad &Tobago.

[@cookingwithbigcat]

Thank you my brother!!!

[@4MzBBQandGRILL]

Looks great! Nice and juicy. Good stuff 👍🏻👍🏻

[@cookingwithbigcat]

Thanks Michael E, appreciate you!!!

[@BBBYpsi]

That chicken looked like thanksgiving Turkey after you started to slice it up. Wow that looked fantastic.

[@cookingwithbigcat]

Thanks BBBYpsi!!! I saved the gravy in the pan and it tastes like Thanksgiving gravy!!!

[@BBBYpsi]

@@cookingwithbigcat Great Idea!!!

[@jonthornton4083]

Morning 🦁 have did quite a few I think it doesn’t really make a big difference in taste except maybe moisture wise. I got big or maybe fat hands lol. I take a small wooden spoon greased up it slides easily under skin all over back,legs,thighs and breast.Load spoon with seasoning and butter after separating skin less mess and gets all over the🐓. Keep on bringing them👌to us.......

[@cookingwithbigcat]

Thanks Jon, I love your advice. Actually I will be speaking about it on my next upcoming video this Wednesday. Thanks brother!!!

[@TERRY-td8lk]

Well it sure looks good Cat. I hope you haven't parked the Blackstone and took up with the Grille world. I got some of the Badia brand Chili Powder and it tastes great. Thanks for the tip about Badia products. I have seen them in the grocery store but never tried them until you said they were good, and you were right. The last time I cooked a Beer Can Chicken I used a Sun Drop Cola. I don't usually keep beer very much. Anyway, thanks for the video and keep them coming...........Terry

[@cookingwithbigcat]

Thanks Terry, just getting back to my grilling roots. I still love my Blackstone and plan to drop a video every Saturday morning cooking on it.

Awesome chicken

Looks Delicious

Thanks Elain, appreciate you!!!

I loved this video. I have a Weber Kettle and will try a chicken next. Quick question - you had both top and bottom vents 25% closed? I thought the vents had to stay open so I’m learning!

[@cookingwithbigcat]

Thanks Tabitha!!! I will tell you that the Weber Kettle was relatively new for me when I made this video. I have a lot of KZbin friends that use the Weber Kettle and I have learned that a great best practice is to leave the bottom vent wide open and control the temperature with the top vent. I have been doing this for a while since then and it is much easier to control the temps. Hope this helps. Appreciate you stopping by!!!

[@BBQPITDOG]

Hey Big Cat no difference in beers...or whatever...but this chicken is money bud!!

[@cookingwithbigcat]

Thanks Pit Dog!!!

[@jeffincabo]

Cat ! You're a freakin' nut man ! LOL " Invasive " ? LOL

[@cookingwithbigcat]

Thanks Jeff. In life I guess you're either the chicken or the beer can LOL!!!

[@antonygantt6459]

Good looking chicken Big Cat, what r u drinking? KoolAid?

[@cookingwithbigcat]

LOL I haven't had KoolAid since I was a kid. This is grown up KoolAid. Diet Cranberry Ginger Ale and Vodka LOL!!!

[@skippyjones2077]

Hey what’s going on brother I don’t think it does I think it’s moisture from water beer whatever have a great day...👍❤️☮️🙏✌️

[@cookingwithbigcat]

I agree Skippy, but it's always fun drinking a beer to get started.

If You're Lookin' You Ain't Cookin'

[@cookingwithbigcat]

I hear you CDF, and that has always been my motto. I actually say no peekaboo cooking. It took a little long to cook but that basting did it justice. Juiciest bird I've ever made. Thanks for the comment!!!

[@BenDover-069]

@@cookingwithbigcat , your chicken did look very moist and I bet it smelt so good even when it was cooking . Up here in Canada I love whole chicken on the BBQ in the summer months . The only difference I do is that I always butterfly a chicken letting it cook on low heat and letting the chicken bones heat up in turn cooking the whole chicken .. I really like your channel and always like visiting Florida with all that Sunshine !!!
