Fuzzy’s Beer Can Chicken

Method Of Cooking:

Big Green Egg (other smoker or grill) on a beer butt roasting stand. Place the standing bird (in stand) directly on your cast iron grate…which will be placed directly on your plate setter with an aluminum drip pan on it. Place the plate setter (with drip pan) directly on your fire ring over your coals. Fill your aluminum roaster with 32 ounces of Chicken Broth. Large amount of Natural Lump Charcoal with Peach Wood Chips at 180-220 degrees for about 5-6 hours (cook times will vary based on Egg temperature and Chicken size).

If you do not have a vertical roasting stand… place the bird on a V-Rack with the breasts facing up… OR… skip the Chicken Broth in the Aluminum Roaster and lay flat in there.

Total Cook/Prep Time: 6 Hours…30 minutes of prep, 5 1/2 hours for cooking (or 165-180 internal temperature) …basically watch a season of your favorite show on Netflix.

Feeds: 2 lumberjacks, or 4 people.

Leftovers? Place leftover bird in a crock pot with chicken stock for several hours. Once the chicken falls off the bone, serve it over a salad…or add BBQ sauce for pulled chicken sliders!
