I have done beer can chicken in the oven, but it can also be done on a wet plank in the barbecue. Outcome is nice and moist with a smoky flavor!! Yum Yum Always prepare plank in advance, by soaking minimum 1hour,up to 24 hours. If well soaked and closely monitored during cooking times, planks can be used more than once. If you have a metal bucket, or a lake like we do, resoak the plank, and it can be used again next barbecue. Also, planks can be soaked in liquids other than water.. Example... apple juice, beer, wine .. Use your imagination. Ingredients:
1 whole chicken |
355 ml beer |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon celery seed |
1/2 teaspoon brown sugar |
1/2 teaspoon onion powder |
1/4 teaspoon chili powder (optional) |
Directions:
1. Preheat barbecue to 350°F.
2. Mix all dry ingredients
3. Rub outside and inside of chicken. Any leftover spice can be added to the beer in the can.
4. Insert the can of beer into the chicken cavity from the bottom opening of the chicken. For additional flavor, rub plank with clove of garlic. Using the legs,of the chicken, balance chicken on prepared plank.
5. Grill or bake for 1 1/4 hours, or until internal temperature is 180°F.
