Beer-Can Chicken with White BBQ Sauce Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by AliceV

Number Of Ingredients 19

WHITE BBQ SAUCE:
1 whole chicken (approximately 4 to 5-pounds)
4 tablespoons sweet paprika, or mild smoked paprika
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon granulated white sugar
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon chile de arbol or red-pepper flakes, or to taste
1 can beer, ideally yellow in hue, with the top half consumed or poured off
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons apple-cider vinegar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
1 teaspoon mustard powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Cayenne pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Build a fire in your grill, leaving approximately half the grilling area free of coals. If using a gas grill, turn burners to high and then, when ready to cook, turn off the burner on the side where you will place the chicken. If using an oven, heat to 425°F. Remove neck and giblets from chicken. Rinse the chicken in cold water. Pat dry. Combine all the spices in a large bowl, then apply the dry rub to the chicken, inside and out. Put the beer can on a solid surface. Pick up the chicken and, taking a leg in each hand, put the cavity over the can and slide the bird down onto it. Carefully transfer the bird and the can to the cool side of your grill, its back to the fire, balancing the chicken upright and using the legs to support it in this position. If using an oven, place the chicken upright in a roasting pan using the same method and place carefully into the heat. Cover the grill and cook for approximately 1-1/4 hours, basting with barbecue sauce twice during the final half-hour, until the breast meat registers 165°F on an instant-read thermometer or until the legs are loose in their sockets. (If you're using an oven, you can tent the bird with foil after 45 minutes to keep the skin from getting too dark.) De-can and carve. Serve with white barbecue sauce and corn bread. White BBQ sauce: Combine the mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon juice, horseradish and mustard powder in a medium nonreactive bowl, and whisk until smooth. Add salt, pepper and cayenne to taste. Brush on grilled or roasted chicken during the end of the cooking process, and pass remaining sauce at the table.
