Tortured Chicken - Beer Can Recipe #20099
I first saw these "tortured" chickens served at a bar-b-q. Lined up on a serving platter, beer cans still in place! Talk about a conversation starter!The dry rub sounds bizarre, but I guarantee the proportions blend into a delicious combination.

1¼ hours | 15 min prep
SERVES 4 , 1 whole chicken
- 1 large chicken, rinsed in cold water and patted very dry, inside and out with paper toweling (2-2.5 pounds)
- 1/2 (12 ounce) can beer (any brand, any variety)
- 1/3 cup paprika
- 1/3 cup salt
- 1/3 cup black pepper
- 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
- Mix 4 dry ingredients together.
- Use this rub inside and out of the cleaned, dry chicken.
- Be generous.
- Place 1/2 can of beer in center of roasting pan.
- Position"bottom" of chicken over beer and slide chicken over the can of beer until the chicken is"sitting" upright in the pan.
- The fit will be snug and chicken will be secure.
- Roast uncovered at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
- Do not baste, do not turn pan.
- The beer will steam the chicken deliciously.
- When done, carefully remove can of beer from chicken and serve.
- Chicken can also be carved while"sitting" on the beer can.
- I have"tortured" 2 or 3 chickens in the same roaster and did not have to adjust cooking time.
- This melt-in-your-mouth chicken will get rave reviews.
