I was watching a Food Network competition a few months ago and saw a contestant cook Beer in the Rear Chicken. It looked so good and I wanted to try it out. It looked really easy and it’s actually very cheap to do. So I searched online and found this recipe.
It is really easy. You buy a 3 - 5 lb whole chicken (about $4 or $5). Get a can of beer, pretty much anything but a light beer. I used Pabst Blue Ribbon because it was all I had. Open it, drink a third of it, cut the top off and set aside. Mix up the spice rub below. Put the rub on the inside of the chicken, outside of the chicken, and poor the rest into the beer can (an interesting thing happens when you do this, it fizzes up like science fair volcano, pretty cool). You then place the chicken upright around the beer can (hence beer in the rear) and place it into a pan. Cook for 20 minutes per pound at 350, about an hour and fifteen minutes. Thermo needs to say 180 degrees.
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons sweet paprika
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon celery salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
Cayenne pepper, pinch
When it’s finished it pretty much just falls off the bone. It was so moist and juicy, it was awesome. Good luck.
