Ingredients:

  • 24 oz beer
  • 750 ml bourbon (or more if you would like)
  • 1/2 cup butter

Directions:

  1. Preheat grill to 375°F preferably indirect heat (the oven works sorta-ok too).
  2. Empty beer cans by 1/4 to 1/3, then set them into stand.
  3. Place chickens over beer cans (try and keep them from touching).
  4. Grind 1 cup rosemary & garlic seasoning into a powder. Melt 3/4 stick of butter. Mix in powdered seasoning. Pour concoction into a meat flavor injector. Inject chickens in the middle of the breasts, thighs, and legs.
  5. Have a whiskey, or two.
  6. Spritz the chickens with bourbon. Inside and out (I use a squirt bottle).
  7. Rub entire bare skin of chickens with leftover 1/4 butter.
  8. Rub the rest of the seasoning into entire skin of chickens (maybe grind some more of the seasoning down a little to help the rubbing action).
  9. Maybe another shot of whiskey to clear the throat and mind?.
  10. Place chickens onto covered, and preheated grill.
  11. Cook for 2 hours, Every 10-15 minutes spritz chickens with bourbon. (leave lid shut when you do this. Go through the back and side vent on lid of grill).
  12. Finish off with a nice glass of bourbon on the rocks.
