Beer Can Chicken




My mother found this recipe while perusing on the internet one day. She told me that I would love it. However, she did warn me that the recipe does seem and look a little odd, but that is doesn't make a different and the chicken turns out amazing. My littler step sister, who is a picky eater at times, ate two whole chicken breasts because she liked it so much. I completely agree with my mom. I made it tonight and it was delicious. This recipe is for 2 pounds of chicken breasts but I used it all on 1 pound and it worked great and was not over seasoned. Most of the beer will evaporate, but the chicken is so juicy and tender. Skeptical? I was too. Give it a try, you'll love it!
