Beer Can Chicken
Beer Can Chicken is a popular grilling method where a whole chicken is cooked upright on a partially-filled can of beer. The beer inside the can steams the chicken from the inside, keeping it moist while the outside gets crispy and flavorful. This method infuses the chicken with a subtle beer flavor and is often seasoned with a dry rub or marinade for added taste. The result is a tender, juicy, and deliciously roasted chicken that's perfect for any barbecue.
