CAJUN SMOKED BEER CAN CHICKEN



Cajun Smoked Beer Can Chicken image

This is the best chicken that I have ever had! I purchased a Big Green Egg Smoker and was looking for new recipes and discovered this. I found the recipe on the website The Smoker King (smokerking.com). I think the key part of this recipe is the injection. It makes the chicken so tender and juicy. The chicken is injected with a butter mixture. Leave it to me to find the only unhealthy recipe for chicken on the internet!

Time 5h

Yield 1 chicken, 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

one whole chicken (3 or 4 lbs.)
3 garlic cloves
3 pieces of chopped onions
one 12 oz. beer
1/2 cup melted butter (room temperature)
2 tablespoons Tony Chachere's Seasoning (I used dizzy pig)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup vinegar
olive oil
tony chachere's seasoning to cover the outside of the chicken
1 cup apple cider
1/2 cup olive oil
spray bottle

Steps:

  • Directions:
  • 1. Whisk all injection ingredients together.
  • 2. Using a kitchen syringe, inject the liquid into various spots on the chicken. Try to be even as possible, injecting about 1/2 of the mixture into the breasts, and the other 1/2 throughout the rest of the chicken.
  • 3. Rub the chicken down with olive oil, and apply an even layer of Tony's Cajun Seasoning to the bird.
  • 4. Drink half of the beer, widen the opening at the top of the can, then put the garlic and onion in the can.
  • 5. Place the bird on the can. It should sit up by itself. You may have to prop the legs forward to make it sit up.
  • 6. Preheat your smoker to about 250 F degrees. I use hickory for chicken; charcoal works well too.
  • 7. Mix the mop ingredients in the spray bottle and shake before each use.
  • 8. Put the chicken on the smoker and spray the chicken with the mop about every 30 minutes to keep it moist.
  • 8. Smoke the chicken for 3-4 hours, or until the internal temperature of the thickest meat reaches 175 F Degrees.

SMOKED CHICKEN ON A BEER CAN

From my hero of the grill, Rob Rainford. This to me is the ultimate beer can chicken recipe and the ultimate treat for me! The leftovers make awesome sandwiches, especially grilled cheese sandwiches with monterey jack and some salsa.

Categories     Chicken

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 teaspoons dried sage
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon celery salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon thyme leaves
1 roasting chicken (6-7 lbs.)
1 (16 ounce) can beer
1/4 cup chicken stock
1 tablespoon brandy
2 teaspoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
2 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons butter, melted
2 cups mesquite wood chips

Steps:

  • Combine all the dry rub ingredients in a bowl and mix.
  • Prepare the marinade by placing the chicken stock, brandy, lemon juice, butter and 1 tablespoon of the dry rub into a small saucepan and warm gently until the butter melts then cool to room temperature.
  • Remove giblets from chicken along with any fat from inside the cavities, rinse then pat dry.
  • Season the inside cavity with 2 tablespoons of the dry rub, and rub in 3 tablespoons of the rub all over the outside of the chicken.
  • Using a syringe style flavor injector, inject the marinade sauce into the breast, thighs and drumsticks until plump. Brush the outside of the bird with some of the melted butter and let it sit in the fridge to marinade for 3 hours.
  • After the chicken has been marinading for 2½ hours, prepare the wood chips for smoking by pouring half of the beer over them in a bowl and let them soak for a half hour. Use a sharp can opener to punch a couple more holes in the top of the beer can and set aside.
  • Prepare the barbeque for indirect cooking by placing a drip pan underneath the grate on one side and removing the grate from the other side, then turn on only the burner opposite of the drip pan to high heat.
  • Squeeze the excess beer from the wood chips and make a smoking pouch with tinfoil (wrap in foil then poke holes with a fork), or smoking tray or tube.
  • Place wood chips directly over the burner that is on, close the lid and wait for smoke to appear. Once smoke appears, reduce to medium heat.
  • Hold chicken upright with body cavity down and lower onto the beer can then place onto the cool side of the grill over the drip pan and pull legs forward to form a stable tripod so it can stand upright on its own.
  • Brush with melted butter and continue to cook at 220°F with the lid down, basting every 45 minutes or so with the melted butter. If the chicken gets too brown on the outside before it is done, cover with tinfoil.
  • Remove chicken from the grill once it reaches an internal temperature of 180°F, about 2½ hours, cover with tinfoil and let rest for 10 minutes.
