Beer Can Chicken Throne - Resources

Cooking Method

At Chicken-Headz, we're all about bringing fun, flavor, and flair to your barbecue experience. One of our favorite methods to recommend is cooking with a beer can chicken throne, a technique that guarantees juicy, flavorful chicken every single time. This method involves vertically roasting a chicken with a can of beer placed inside the cavity, positioned on a grill or oven.

Beer Can Chicken Recipe

For a basic beer can chicken, you'll need a whole chicken, your favorite dry rub, and a can of beer. First, prepare your chicken by patting it dry and generously applying the dry rub inside and out. Open the beer can, pour out half the beer (enjoy it while you prep!), and place the can into the cavity of the chicken. The Chicken-Headz Beer Can Chicken Throne makes this process seamless, adding a touch of personality to your cooking.

Grilling Technique

Grilling the chicken involves preheating your grill to a medium-high temperature and positioning the chicken upright, using the beer can and throne as a stand. Cook with the lid closed for about 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on the size of your chicken. The beer will steam inside the chicken, keeping it moist while the outside gets a beautiful crispy skin.

The key to a successful beer can chicken is stability. Our ceramic beer can chicken heads, including the popular Beer Can Chicken Throne, ensure your poultry doesn’t tip over while grilling. They're designed to withstand high temperatures, making them perfect for both grills and ovens.

BBQ Chicken Throne

Our BBQ Chicken Throne series is about more than just function; it's a way to inject fun into your grilling. Choose from a range of designs like the Bug Eye Chicken Head or the Football Chicken Head to make your barbecue stand out. Not only do these thrones support your chicken during cooking, but they also become conversation starters among your guests.

Each Chicken-Headz beer can chicken stand is crafted from high-quality ceramic, making them durable and easy to clean. They’re designed to perfectly fit a can of beer or soda, providing the ideal angle for the chicken to roast.

Roasting Chicken on a Beer Can

Roasting a chicken on a beer can isn't limited to the grill. You can achieve similar results in the oven. Place the chicken, seated on its throne, in a roasting pan to catch drippings. Oven-roasting at 350°F (175°C) will still deliver that juicy, tender meat with a crispy exterior, characteristic of beer can chicken.

• Ensure your chicken is fully thawed and seasoned inside and out.
• Half-fill the ceramic head with beer for flavor and moisture.
• Keep the grill or oven closed as much as possible to maintain an even temperature.
• Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. Chicken is ready when the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

We at Chicken-Headz believe that barbecue should be as much about enjoyment as it is about cooking.
