Get your grill ready for a delicious whole beer can chicken recipe that's moist on the inside and crisp on the outside. We've made prep easy with just four ingredients — a whole chicken, some olive oil, Grill Mates Montreal Chicken Seasoning and your favorite beer. The secret to this tender, fall-off-the-bone chicken is the open beer can inserted into the cavity of the bird, which is cooked upright on the grill. While the chicken's exterior is dry roasting, the interior is being bathed with the steam of the beer to keep the chicken meat wonderfully juicy. Aside from being incredibly tender, this beer can grilled chicken makes a great conversation piece — perfect for your next summer cookout or any other large gathering! Serve it with BBQ potatoes and grilled mushrooms for a complete spread everyone will love. Read More Read Less
