Tips for Making Grilled Herb Chicken on a Can:

  • Choose the right chicken: Use a whole chicken that is about 3-4 pounds in size. This will ensure that the chicken cooks evenly and stays moist.
  • Prepare the chicken: Rinse the chicken inside and out with cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Remove any excess fat from the chicken, but leave the skin on.
  • Make the herb butter: Combine the softened butter, minced herbs, and seasonings in a small bowl. Mix until well combined.
  • Stuff the chicken: Place the herb butter inside the cavity of the chicken. You can also rub some of the herb butter under the skin of the chicken.
  • Prepare the can: Open a can of beer or broth and pour out about 1/3 of the liquid. Place the can in the center of a roasting pan.
  • Place the chicken on the can: Carefully place the chicken on top of the can, breast-side up.
  • Season the chicken: Season the chicken with salt and pepper, or your favorite seasoning blend.
  • Grill the chicken: Place the roasting pan on the grill over indirect heat. Cook the chicken for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.
