Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

½ (12 ounce) can beer
1 (4 pound) whole chicken
2 cups ranch salad dressing
¼ cup minced onion
2 tablespoons garlic salt
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat grill for low heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Place beer can on a disposable aluminum baking sheet and set chicken upright onto the can, inserting can into cavity. Mix ranch salad dressing, onion, garlic salt, salt, and ground black pepper in a bowl. Paint the outside of chicken with ranch dressing mixture.

I would love to try this recipe, but I don't have a beer can chicken holder. Do you have any suggestions for how I could make this recipe without one?

This recipe was a disaster. The chicken was overcooked and dry, and the beer made it taste bitter.

This is the best beer butt chicken I've ever had. The chicken was so tender and moist, and the skin was crispy and flavorful.
