Beer can chicken might be my favorite way to smoke or grill chicken; it’s a foolproof way to end up with the moistest, most succulent chicken you’ve ever tasted! For this recipe, I used a generous amount of Meat Church’s Holy Voodoo Rub, with its Cajun flavors and a kick of jalapeño…Hallelujah! This is good stuff!
Ingredients
- Chicken
- 1 whole chicken, about 2-3 lbs
- 1 tsp Meat Church Holy Voodoo BBQ Rub
- 3 cloves garlic
- 3 pieces chopped onion
- 1 (12 oz) can of beer
- Meat Church Holy Voodoo BBQ Rub
- Injection
- ½ cup melted butter, room temperature
- 2 tbsp Holy Voodoo Rub
Rub
- Olive oil
- Holy Voodoo Rub to cover the outside of the chicken
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ cup apple cider vinegar
Tools
Directions
- Preheat your smoker to about 400°F. I used red wine barrel soaked oak pellets for my pellet smoker.
- Whisk all injection ingredients together.
- 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.
- Rub the chicken down with olive oil, and apply an even layer of Holy Voodoo Rub to the bird.
- Drink half of the beer (LOL), widen the opening of the can or use a ceramic beer can like I have, then put the beer, garlic, onion and a teaspoon of the Holy Voodoo rub in the can.
- Place the bird on the can.
- Smoke the chicken for about 1 hour, until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F.
