Baked in vermont beer can chicken recipe. Oct 31 2016 Heat oven to 425 degrees. Pat chicken dry and rub all over with the spice mixture. Stand chicken in upright position on unlit side of grill.
Remove about 2 ounces of beer and poke 2 holes in top of can. Its hard to describe but beer seems to enhance the flavor of the spices and help the other spices permeate deep into the chicken. Beer Can Chicken is used with whole chicken and the beer adds a wonderful flavour but not a beer flavour.
Now depending on the chicken stands you use they could either have room to pour some of the beer in or to shimmy the can itself into the stand. Pour out or drink half the beer and place the can in the bottom of a heavy roasting pan. Position legs to best support chicken similar to a tripod.
This recipe is a completely redesigned recipe from Beer Can Chicken sometimes called Drunken Chicken. Gesine makes her famous Bakers Roast Chicken with a side of Beer Gravy plus Green Beans in Creamy Horseradish Sauce and Rock Scones. The OG redneck way of doing this is putting the open beer can directly into the chickens cavity hence the name bird can chicken but balancing it on the smoker might be tricky for larger birds.
