The beer can chicken is so easy, just set it and leave it. Grilled to perfection and so moist. Enjoy half of a beer before putting the chicken on it, no point in wasting it! With the dry rub, the skin crisps up beautifully. When serving, cut the legs and wings off first, divide the breast into two halves and slice them horizontally so that each piece has a little skin on it. Perfect for two, with a little left over for a grilled chicken and greens salad. If you're expecting more people, why not put an extra chicken or two on the grill! The only substitution that you may want to make is substituting black pepper for cayenne pepper but I think that the cayenne gives the chicken a nice little kick (and I'm not one for spicy foods).
Can Can Chicken Recipe
To make your own grilled steak fries (so much healthier than the store-bought frozen kind). Take several large baking potatoes (about one per person) and place them in a pot with salt water. Cook about 10-12 minutes then immediately place in a bowl of ice-water (this blanches them, you don't want them all the way cooked through). Pat dry and cut each potato into 8 wedges. Toss with enough olive oil to coat and your favorite seasonings; I used seasoned salt and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Grill on each side about 4 min. Remove from grill and drizzle with additional oil and seasoning, if desired (I drizzled them with white truffle oil). They're so tasty that you won't even need ketchup.
This is by far the best chicken I have ever had. The meat was extremely moist and the skin, holy flavorful!! What I found most surprising was that the chicken itself had those amazing flavors from the rub too! Thanks for an amazing dinner babe !!
