The Only Way To Do Grilled Barbecue Chicken!

Clean chicken and pat dry. Preheat your grill to medium heat. Transfer to chicken to a large, deep rectangular foil cooking pan and place on the grill. Cover chicken in beer, close grill and allow to simmer for about 35 minutes. After that time, remove the pan from the grill and transfer the chicken to a platter with tongs. Discard beer (don’t worry, you have more ice cold ones in the cooler). Baste the chicken in the sauce and don’t be shy. Kick up the heat to high on your grill and place chicken directly on the grates, getting a nice crispy char to the skin, turning when necessary. Add more sauce as necessary. Remove when the chicken is done or a meat thermometer ensures it is. This will be the moistest, most delicious barbecued chicken you have ever tasted!

Notes:

It is easier to control the heat for the first phase of cooking the chicken in beer on a gas grill; if you have charcoal, I definitely would recommend doing this portion in a 350-degree oven for the same amount of time.

You may not use this much barbecue sauce, but in the case of delicous barbecue sauce, too much is always better than too little for me!

If you are not a fan of the sauce, start the chicken in the beer, then you can add any of your favorite seasoning blends or sauces to the chicken. The beer process really just imparts great moistness and flavor into the chicken!
