Beer-can Chicken

Put 1/4 cup kosher salt in about a gallon of water in a large pot and stir until dissolved.

Thoroughly wash and rinse a whole chicken, removing the giblets.

Immerse the chicken in the salt water, making sure the water covers it completely and refrigerate for about 3 hours.

Melt two tablespoons of butter and stir it into 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Rub the entire chicken, inside and out, with this liquid.

Sprinkle generous amounts of garlic salt and black pepper on the outside of the chicken and in the cavity.

Empty about one-half of the beer from a can. Warm beer works best.

Add one shot of tequila to the can of beer. (OPTIONAL)

Place the chicken on the beer can, inserting the can into the cavity. The chicken should stand up on the can by itself.



Set the grill to about 325°. Wait until the temperature stabilizes.





Cook for 2 hours 15 minutes or until done. Chicken is done when leg moves freely in socket.

" Just plug it in and away you go on a journey to near culinary perfection. You will just LOVE grilling with pellets because of the taste, the aroma, and the lack of mess. Practically impossible to burn your food! "
