[@a.w.w.728]

I can't even begin to tell you how much of a difference you've made in my bbq. The huge confidence boost knowing that this is how it's done and that I can easily follow your directions and make great food for my family. My family and I thank you for imparting and sharing your vast knowledge onto everyone. From ribs, brisket, chicken, pulled pork, and beef. Subbed to your website, newsletter, and KZbin. Keep up the amazing work. Helping make the average cooker much better through your experience of trial and error. Thank you so much for everything you do.

[@cookingwithyayaslamdien6747]

I agree with you 100 percent

[@hugz0305]

Thanks for the great videos. Sorry people have to be such tools and bash and make stupid comments about painted beer cans. I'm embarrassed for them. Some of us played in the dirt, and drank out of the hose, hell we even survived driving in the back of a pick up trucks. Keep up the great work.... Big fan here

[@johnwunder3521]

i got some of that thar yuppie micro brew beer in cans & the plastic labels just peel off cans......my self ,i was more concerned about plastic lining on inside of beer can melting....it's good though, kinda like moose turd pie....my friend who passed away recently, always called it" beer can up the ass chicken".

[@emmgeevideo]

I love these older videos to see where Malcom came from. He’s built a great channel, a great business, and a big subscriber number the old-fashioned way - outstanding content! Good for you Malcom!

[@JustGrillingandChilling.]

Was going to say the same thing…. He is as good a griller as he is a person…. Deserves all the success he has….. works hard..,

[@sharqtalk]

Malcom you are without a doubt my favorite youtube BBQ channel.. I wont que anything without watching you.. Thank you for teaching me how to smoke like the big boys!!!

[@dennismarchesani1615]

[@BosleyBeats]

You are my bbq reference manual I swear. Thank you for the knowledge Malcom

[@tonyboneize]

This might sound weird but as I've watched ALOT Of your videos I've noticed you are really good and shaking the seasonings on your meat!!!

[@crempster]

I wondering why the hell anybody would give this a thumbs down?I mean I have made this several times and it’s delicious.The guy takes time out of his day to show some of us rookies how to cook and he gets thumbs down.Just keep doing what your doing Malcom.Im enjoying your videos.

[@steele829]

I like that u explain things in detail

[@shtevcorpse6392]

Thanks man. As a complete beginner with no idea what I was doing, I followed your method and just cooked the best tasting chicken I've ever done. Tip top!

[@skerfan949597]

I'm a newb smoker and did a whole chicken a few weeks back and found the skin to be super rubbery. Thanks for clearing up why that was. I smoked it at to low of a temp. Your videos have helped me out a ton!!!!!

[@woodyhill2167]

Killer Hogs on the Thanksgiving turkey was absolutely amazing. Best bird ever. Smoked with Apple Pellets.

[@rubyk5115]

I did this recipe today I'm my masterbuilt smoker. Wow it came out spectacular. The skin was perfect and Smokey.

[@donajean33]

You are my favorite for learning recipes for my new smoker! I’ve cooked three of your recipes in two weeks now! Thanks for sharing!

[@KILLAKAYONE]

Sir. Thank you. my Chicken was a HUGE hit this 4th of July. I followed your recipe 100% and it was amazing

[@mzingone12]

You are the best on the net man. I use all of your recipes all year long. Friends and extended family love it. I bring the smoked turkey to thanksgiving every year and it's a jaw dropper. Thanks for the good times.

[@youtubeuserUCVuhjgRB1]

my favorite BBQ channel. Thanks for teaching me so much and taking my BBQ to the next level!

[@jtneuner]

You've saved my life with your home cooking. Not to be light hearted. My family finally accepts me when I cook your food. Let's link up to save more lives!

[@kh_qft762]

That's great man! :)

[@FlamezOfDarkness]

10:25 HOW ARE YOU GRABBING THAT WITH ONLY NITRILE GLOVES ON!? I wish I could do this

[@jenniferriester3159]

He wears heat resistant gloves underneath. He had talked about them in other videos before. But it definitely looks that way. Lol

[@z1g]

Great video!. I am a little bummed that this video was so far down on the recommend, maybe because of the age, but this is far better that all of the videos I have watched.

[@Doug6714]

I haven't done a beer can chicken in years. Looks great.

[@Paul-bw6eo]

Malcom,that chicken looked amazing,just went out ,got a chicken,found my injector, going to unsweetened apple juice and throw some rosemary into the beer can.Thanks for the info,I’ll let you know how it went🇨🇦👍🇺🇸

[@93rayluster]

Looks fantastic, I love the crispy skin! I usually spray my beer can with cooking oil to avoid the chicken getting stuck in the end. Try this next time and I'm sure you will be happy with then result.

[@crimsontide1980]

The chicken appreciates your efforts with lubing him up😅

[@joeywilson9067]

I'm new to smoking on a pellet grill and I really appreciate your channel. So far everyone has enjoyed everything that's come off my smoker. Thanks for sharing your expertise with us!

[@streaydog019]

Pellet grill is worth it?

[@BlakeBake]

Just did this today and turned out great! Most tender chicken I've ever had 🐔🍻

[@geosuicide]

This guy seems like a straight up solid guy - appreciate the videos man. Keep 'em coming!

[@rhondacampbell6152]

I use warm beer and add 2 drops of liquid smoke in the can, you get a great smoky flavor! Love your videos

[@MadMike78]

I made my chicken a different way but I still followed your cooking instructions and dam it came out juice. Thanks for what you.

[@fritogranito]

Many thanks for this. I bought my first smoker and did this recipe today as my first on it. Unbelievably good.

[@boydcrowder6130]

great recipe.. did it with "bone suckin sauce" for the seasoning and it came out great.. did another one with "slap ya mama" cajun seasoning and it came out amazing too.. did them in a vertical smoker with a pan of beer and crab boil right over the coals and under the chicken... Amazing!!

[@lx2nv]

Broke in my new electric smoker this weekend with this. Came out awesome!

[@shawnlively4753]

I use a can opener and open the whole can of beer then i use a potato to plug the neck of the chicken & it makes the chicken stay moist.

[@huntingspud3086]

Good lord Mr. Malcolm, as I watch this, it's 10:23 pm at my house, and I am now craving some beer can chicken. You are the MAN! Love your videos!

[@thongtran7775]

Looks great! My family loves beer can chicken. I have the same beer stand and don't even use a beer can anymore.

[@joelpritchard451]

I really love your videos you put up on KZbin are my go to guy for cooking things on my pellet grill smoker Joel Pritchard From burlingtion Ontario Canada 🇨🇦

[@MtKayak1]

Hello Malcomb; I do my BBC just as you do. I also add onions and garlic to the beer can liquid, I also close up the top at the neck with tooth picks to hold all the heat and the steam from the BB can. Instead of beer , I like to use apple juice. What ever you use for a liquid, this is a great way to cook chicken. Instead of turkey for thanksgiving, we are cooking 2 real nice size hens instead of a turkey. Happy Holidays Malcomb

[@ronaldcaraway8184]

Fantastic video. I tried this and it worked great. Use a tall boy, drink half and then fill the other half with BBQ sauce. Use it a as a dipping sauce. Better than good.

[@ericgalyean9051]

Awesome again. Thanks for bringing the competition circuit to regular guys.

[@777Dorado]

Would also like to see your killer recipe on SMOKED MAC & CHEESE for the masses. Love your Videos

[@vonholley]

Thank you so much for all your videos. After multiple failures a Vegan can finally entertain in Texas! Xo all the best

[@Funkybunchy]

It doesn’t get much better than this. You da man Malcom!

[@siezard4663]

Of course he puts seasoning in the beer! Thanks for your channel, you're an inspiration.

[@WebTVRebel]

Malcolm, you're the goto guy for smoking around here. I"m not a huge chicken fan but this is an amazing bird. Cherry and Bud Light was definitely the way to go. Thanks man.

[@gilligun29]

Malcolm, you have quickly made me a pretty darn good cook. Great video as usual. Thank you

[@frankbenischeck7724]

Try sticking a small potato in his neck,helps keep the moisture in.

[@williamjones6053]

I use two small cuts of celery ..it pairs really well with yard pimp ..aka chicken ..

[@hiddenacresoutdoors]

It's what's for dinner tonight! Thanks for all of your videos. Your channel has become our go to source for grilling and smoking. We've done everything from briskets to standing rib roasts to turkey on our kamado style ceramic cooker. Bottom line? If we are doing something new on the smoker then we search your channel for how to do it right!

[@johnfdavidson1572]

First time I've seen this done in a smoker. We've done quite a few on the Q but now we will do one in the smoker. Looks great and I am sure it will be. I will be back with the results we get on our vertical gas smoker.

[@tonyvisconti8018]

Thanks Malcolm. Did this tonight. If it weren't for my digital thermometer crapping out near the end of my cook all would have been perfect. Going to try your meatloaf later this week. Keep up the great videos, you're awesome.

[@awjake137]

The one glove thing.....BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!

[@darinschneider600]

I love watching and learning from your videos. Thank you!

[@mrdickwhiskey]

Malcom, I swear I'm getting a pellet smoker thanks to your channel. The Yoder looks to be the boss. It may be a Traeger though, cause that's what they got in my town.

[@bryanshoemaker8628]

U can use a can opener to take the top off the beer can

[@joe5623]

I really like how you break down how to really smoke. I love your videos! Keep up the good work!!!

[@dumhekk]

Hey Malcom, just about a few weeks ago I tried a chicken like this and the next day just to compare, I did one with lemon pepper seasoning and some lemon zest and in place of the beer, a can of lemonade. It was surprisingly good, if you haven't done that before I would really recommend it.

[@howtobbqright]

dumhekk thanks, might have to try that.

[@barrett9631]

Its fun watching a pro at work. Thank you.

[@jameschrisdavis]

Im gonna do my first Beer Can Chicken this next weekend. Thanks so much for these videos, they are very helpful!

[@katiebug-ku8wr]

Mr. Reed, I made your smoked brisket for xmas. Wow, it was so good, the whole family loved it. Now ive been watching all your videos. Beer chicken for Super Bowl Sunday. Yes I live in Denver. Thanks for what you do!

[@blrobinson5854]

I watched 9 Different videos of yours today.....Now I think I need to go on a diet before I start bbq'n some of your recipes. Great Job Brother.

[@bigcountry9210]

Olive oil and mustard rub makes a good crispy skin.

[@MB-ft3pu]

Love your recipes, thank you for sharing! I use them all the time. What is great is beer can turkey as well. Find small bird, follow your exact same recipe, except substitute the chicken broth injection with turkey broth. It's fantastic too!

[@jamesstrauch8491]

I've done this with beer and also soda it turns out good either way especially if you don't drink beer then soda is a awesome substitute for the beer.

[@jnohr1166]

Love watching your videos. Good job of keeping it simple but giving some good tips that an average person may not think of.

[@DrStrange347]

I like the way this dude explains stuff. Subscribing.

[@Tedisabear]

To open the can up just use a can opener. Going to try this later today. Thanks

[@frankiebooker2237]

Would love to see an updated video on this recipe to see if you would change anything. I’m trying this on Saturday!

[@tangojoe9694]

Great cook Malcom, everyone needs to do a beer can chicken at least once. Nice tip on using the cooking spray during the cook, never saw that before.

[@reg6616]

White wine in a spray bottle also makes a good moisturizer during cooking

[@Try_n_2Tri]

Just bought my first smoker today - WSM. Checked out many of your vids and sir I like your style. Looking forward to my days off to try your rib and now chicken recipes. You keep it simple and explain the process well. Keep it up - we're watching.

[@monisingh2457]

Sanyam

[@monisingh2457]

I

[@HeavyDutyHillbilly]

I put hot sauce in my beer. Instead of the spray I use soya sauce to stick my rub. Nice and salty

[@pizzulo81]

"I happened to have one of these in the fridge." 🤣 You don't have to explain man. I bet your fridge drawers are filled to the brim with those baby's. Especially in football and Nascar season. You strike me as a Copenhagen man, as well. You probably have a dip every two beers and spit in the empty cans. Keep on keeping on and don't ever change. 👍

[@metalcavy33]

My go to for grilling videos. God bless.

[@scoobidoo78]

very good tech using that kind of spraybottle for our enviorment! Really healthy for nature.

[@18deadmonkeys]

Thanks to your vids this past year I'm now the go-to-guy when it comes to outdoor cooking for friends and family. They're buying the beer so I'll man the smoker all day long any day!

[@TrezlySnipes]

You're my hero. I made your other basic smoked chicken last night and it was amazing

[@slikrick1234]

Awesome video Malcom. I can watch you, JB and T-Roy videos all day long. Keep it up.

[@ericjones6222]

Your AMAZING dude I truly enjoy watching your videos to see your passion for cooking reflect in your videos is awesome you got such a awesome spirit as well God Bless you brother!!!

[@MB-ft3pu]

Hey Malcom, your recipe works great with Cornish Game Hen and Turkey too. Key to turkey is find a small bird about 8lbs.

[@andrewgibson1991]

Love your channel bro you know what your doing

[@doublejbbq42]

your chicken looks awesome, only thing I do different is get the beer boiling before I put the chicken on, the whole beer will evaporate in the chicken

[@howtobbqright]

doublejbbq good tip

[@ronaldcaraway8184]

I have never had one evaporate. But I use tall boys.

[@biglew27]

Plug the neck hole with a quarter potato or quarter onion, keeps the steam in, cooks more even, and doesn't evaporate away.

[@rell6028]

I just slipped and fell on my own drool!! THANKS A LOT!!

[@johnphantis309]

The BBQ go to guy on KZbin! 👌👍

[@farfesh1]

you're a pro chef bro! simple explanation too

[@rpennell1969]

Awesome! I did this for the first time and I followed your step by step instructions and now my family thinks I am a grilling God! Thank You!

[@kolacheking5322]

I prefer using the Sittin' Chicken ceramic chicken steamer instead of an actual can. Also, I use olive oil as that gives a better taste to the skin, in my opinion. Going to taste good either way!

[@johnnyquango99]

Great video. Love your enthusiasm for the subject. I’ll be trying this one!!

[@rodatthebeach]

Malcom, great post. You can't match the beer can method for smoking whole chickens, however, I soon realized that the beer, really doesn't add anything to the chicken. I use a vertical roaster on top of a tin pie plate. Works great. I'd like to see a beer can turkey next!

[@howtobbqright]

Rod Stevens good tip. That almost was a beer can turkey as big as it was.

[@ajtrike8953]

It taste awesome and I use soda too. Even gives a better flavor

[@alwayslucky6269]

Love the channel! It's like watching a "Meat Mechanic" in operation!! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@pand0nium]

Tried and approved!

[@artyhow1885]

Thanks for your expertise. Looks awesome and probably tastes even better! I appreciate your help.

[@sm8551]

Thank you for your recap at the end. It is much appreciated.

[@LumberjackPa]

Just have not perfected this cook yet. Thanks for sharing.

[@ronniedavey2005]

MALCOM REED FOR PRESIDENT!!

[@mayen67]

My simple chiken rub is: salt, black pepper, garlic powder and smoked paprika.

[@wcitro1]

I was considering adding the left over injection fluid to the beer can, good or bad idea ?

[@jasonroane6936]

Use a pie tin under your rack with injections juice and onion, it will help self baste, and ALWAYS put a quarter cut onion in the neck to keep steam from evaporating, BUT MOST OF ALL pre heat the rack with the beer, by the time the beer gets to steam level your bird is half way or more done, by the way your quarter looked undercooked

[@airgunpestcontrol2749]

I don’t even start the grill until I check one of Malcolm’s videos.

[@jasons.8139]

Great video. I will try this tonight.

[@longhunter5935]

I use Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy (it’s lemon/citrus beer) for my beer can chicken. It goes very well with chicken- just say’n

[@bryanbartlett5715]

I always enjoy your videos, Malcom. We're doing a beer can chicken today!!!
