The Ultimate BBQ Beer Can Chicken Recipe: Juicy, Tender & Perfectly Grilled for Father’s Day
Discover the secret to incredibly moist, tender, and flavorful grilled chicken with this sensational BBQ Beer Can Chicken recipe, also affectionately known as Beer Butt Chicken. I first stumbled upon this grilling phenomenon back in 2003 during its peak popularity, and after a brief hiatus, it’s making a well-deserved comeback. There’s a true resurrection of this classic, and for good reason! Not only is it unbelievably delicious, but it’s also a surprisingly healthy way to prepare a whole chicken, as much of the fat conveniently drips away during the indirect grilling process. If you’re on the hunt for easy, healthy, and utterly delicious chicken dinner recipes, especially perfect for occasions like Father’s Day, look no further – this is the one!

The magic of Beer Can Chicken lies in its unique cooking method. For reasons that are as simple as they are effective, placing a half-filled can of beer into the chicken’s cavity results in a bird that is exceptionally tender, incredibly juicy on the inside, and boasts a wonderfully crispy skin on the outside. This method steams the chicken from within while the external indirect heat crisps it up, creating a perfect balance. This particular Beer Butt Chicken recipe is a perennial favorite throughout the summer months, making it a staple for grilling season and backyard barbecues.
