I was feeling it should be easy to pull off (and it was). My suggestion for you, if you do try, is to attempt to pull the skin away from the chicken and get some rub under the skin as well.

Succulent is the perfect word!

I have always wanted to try this but just have never gotten around to it. It looks so succulent, Van!

Well, the beer ads a flavor to the chicken, without a doubt. It’s subtle and mixes quite well with the spices.

Also, yes, I was say the chicken ends up even more tender w/ the addition of the beer.

So, if I was in a better writing state of mind I would have said “both” and not continued to ramble on!

what does the beer in the can do for the chicken? I’ve actually never even heard of it. Does it make impart flavor? Make it tender? both?

Hi Tina!

If you do the bacon, make sure you put your extra rub on it. Makes a huge difference.

Funny you mention the cornish hens. I was trying to think of a way to do ‘beer can’ them, the V-8 is an interesting choice.

I’m going to give that a try. Hope you are doing well!

That looks GREAT! We have grilled beer can chicken but never thought about using bacon. Wow….

We use little V-8 cans to grill cornish hens.

@Bob

It’s worth it, Bob! The prep time is 15 mins, 20 max, and the rest is simply letting the lil guy cook away. I say give it a go.

That looks wicked good. Seriously. Hm, I have a full sized oven now, maybe I can make beer can chicken finally.

The herb/spice combo plays very well, nothing is overpowering at all. The funny thing is that I would also include the bacon in the rub next time.

Yes, I did see. I thought that was funny (or ironic). It looks good!
