    • Oven Roasted Garlic and Herb Beer Can Chicken

    I absolutely love beer can chicken. You can easily throw this together in no time and either cook it on the oven or on a grill. Often when we cook it on the grill it does take longer then when we roast it in the oven.

    Other names for beer can chicken?

    It is also known as beer butt chicken, Coq au can, or a drunken chicken.

    Where did beer can chicken originate?

    It has been suggested that the beer can chicken possibly originated in the U.S. state of Louisiana. Beer can chicken is featured as a dish at some barbecue cooking competitions in the United States, and is served at some U.S. restaurants.

    Why do you use beer?

    The process is meant to add moisture to the dish, and some believe that steam from the beer serves to steam the chicken from the inside and add flavor to the dish. Some people are avid proponents of the dish, while others have contended that the efficacy of using the beer is overrated and that the science regarding beer can chicken is debatable.
