Beer can chicken is dangerous because you will run out of beer while making it and realize there is one beer left and that beer is under the chicken. Burns salminilla u name it
I've made my share of beer can chickens, it's mostly a novelty but a fun cook anyhow. And I have experienced that a beer with a distinct flavor will indeed perfume the chicken from the inside out. You just have to put half a can or even less in there to allow it to steam more quickly. If nothing else, this somewhat unpractical cooking method will teach you a lot about heat zones and temperature control.
i have been using that same style of stainless steel stand for over a decade. i could never understand why you would want to eat a chicken after all of the ink rubbed off of the can onto the inside of the chicken. additional things you can do: put the rub or sauce under the skin from the neck opening and add some to the beer, use two toothpicks to close up the neck opening before roasting, use the drippings from the pan to make a sauce/gravy. i have made chicken side by side using one with beer (i find light american lager imparts the best/lightest flavor) and the other with water and you can definitely tell the difference. i also like to put small potatoes in the tray to cook at the same time as the chicken
I use an offset smoker, and instead of putting a chicken on the beer can. I put beer in a pan by the opening from the fire box. it helps regulate the temp, and allows the beer to steam all over the chicken not just inside. I also Spatchcock my chickens....
Yes, many myths surrounding the beer can chicken. Most are myths - But! - You gotta love the visual effect, if nothing else. Your "official" beer can stand is remarkable, and it sure did turn out juicy.
I go about Beer Can Chicken the hard-core way: I place an unopened Beer can, upside-down, on the grill with the chicken placed on it. When it is done, hold the chicken with the butt end facing you, pop the top of the beer, jam a knife straight through the chicken and beer can, then shotgun that hot beer with the chicken juices. 🍺 🐔
I use a half can of coke in a beer can holder. I use a can opener and cut the top off the can to allow alot of moisture. I add in my seasoning, I rub the chicken with mustard so I can load on my favorite seasoning. I smoke at 300 degrees and finished once the back thigh reaches 190. It will be fall off the bone!! Better then rotisserie chicken!!
Im not a beer guy.. but anyone with common sense should know, that Slow Cook temperatures, are not enough to boil / steam the beer. If you were using standard grill temps.. it would change things. That said... moisture in the center, is not going to mean much, unless that moisture is contained (such as in the grills closed hood, or in the sealed oven). As such... you would likely get similar results from putting beer / liquid on a tray, using something to keep the chicken out of the liquid, and covering the entire thing in foil. That Might impart liquid flavors into the chicken.. but the skin isnt going to crisp up. For that, you would have to remove the foil, pat the thing dry, and finish the bird off in high heat... to get the crispy skin. All of that said... you are much more likely to impart deeper flavors, by brining the chicken in whatever flavorful liquid you chose... overnight.. or for a few days time. The use of some form of Alcohol in your brine, will help absorption go deeper into the meat. Salt and Acids also help. As such, I tend to combine Alcohol, Hot Pepper paste or Flakes, Lemon/lime/or a vinegar choice, salt/soysauce, and a mix of various spices. Additionally... the best way to cook an entire chicken, is on a rotisserie. The electric ones work perfectly awesome for the job. Of course, if you have the ability to Smoke.. then one for the grill is a great option as well. There is nothing like a chicken that has been basting in its own juices, concentrating its on flavors.
I remember a video from roel himself testing the beercan chicken. Aaaannd the result then was that aa bearcanchicken was more for the show then actually a good chicken.
Doesn't matter what liquid you use. So save your beer and use anything else, including water. But yeah, this will produce one of the best, evenly cooked juiciest chickens you can make!
Use less liquid in your “beer can,” and leave the lid off. Only about a third full is best. Orange soda or Dr. Pepper makes a very good substitute for the beer too.
You don't need that gadget. Grolsch and Warsteiner 0.5l cans don't contain any poison. Tes they"re painted but the paint doesn't come of and it's harmless. So do it the proper way, the can right up the butt and let the legs be your tripod, along with the can.
As Morrison said, it´s just all about being ´cool´....I´ve made numerous beercan chickens and chickens indirect BBQ´ed on my Weber...there´s not a lot of difference in taste and juicyness...my preference is roast or indirect grilling....no beer can chicken anymore...prefer to drink the beer myself (LoL)
Aka don’t poor that much beer in the replacement can. It’ll help getting is to a boil sooner, creating more steam.me and my brother did this compair testing with 3 chickens. One cheap beer, one more expensive double and a Coca Cola one. There are real differences in the taste profile so beercan chicken works! But keep it save. Use that replacement jar. A can of beer isn’t made for cooking!
First of all, the paint is not why beer can chicken is dangerous, its because like any stuffing, you have to heat up the center of the stuffing, and a can of water will be a huge thermal sink. Even heating up the beer can wont help, you will then put the hot beer in the chicken and the chicken will cool off the beer.
Don’t like KFC. It’s too monotonous for my taste. Here in Australia, we’ve Red Rooster; they’re specialist in roasted chicken. Far better than KFC. Cheers, mate!
Water boils at 212F degrees. Chicken is cooked at 165F. The beer won't boil or steam by the time the chicken is done so unless you pre boil the beer it is literally useless.
I'm not into beer can chicken.... BUT chicken is NOT cooked at 165F... it is cooked TO 165F.... it was cooked at 180c which is 356F.... More than enough to boil the beer... I've seen beer can chicken done correctly where beer flavor IS imparted in the chicken but it is done with a nearly empty can of beer so that the thermal mass is LESS and starts to steam much faster..
I wish I was an intern for pitmaster x.. I've got some amazing barbeque ideas and I know a bit of filmmaking and have got editing experience too... I'd be perfect for the team!
It doesn't seem the beer adds anything to the chicken. It might add some moisture. The only way to figure that out would be two chickens on that stand fill one with beer leave the other one empty. Also do not add any hot sauce just simple bbq rub that's it.
First of your videos I didn't like, beer can chicken is a mature waste of beer and chicken, spatchcock chicken cooks more evenly gets just as crispy. The beer never gets hot enough to steam.
@@williamwilliams2296 obviously not been watching their videos very long. This channel started and for a very long time only cooked over coals, no pellet or gas being used then. Quite simple, if you don’t like it, don’t watch it

I am woried that the paint from the can comes in contact with the chicken what you think don?
You're getting realy good at this Morrison, well done mate!
1/4-1/3 fill on the can max, I like the idea of preheating the can though.

It works with soda and water as well. The steam from the can keeps the chicken moist and juicy.
Bud light orange makes wonderful chicken

Thank you so much! I like the stainless steel "beer can" I have been looking for something aluminum free!!
Thumbs up for the chicken and the Watain hoodie
There's quite a bit of beer leftover, that could be used for a nice sauce

The hit marker at 1:42 got me good. Props to the editor! 😂
So, why is it so juicy if nothing evaporated?
Also, what's the make and model of your meat axe?
I remember a video from roel himself testing the beercan chicken. Aaaannd the result then was that aa bearcanchicken was more for the show then actually a good chicken.
@Morrison Hulshof yep noticed it. Sorry. Was watching you and the peaky blinders at the samw time. :)
it more of the steam from the liquid that helps keeps it from drying out u can get same results with just water
More videos with raul again please
All Roel all the time! We want to watch and learn from the “Pitmaster”
Doesn't matter what liquid you use. So save your beer and use anything else, including water.
But yeah, this will produce one of the best, evenly cooked juiciest chickens you can make!
I don’t do beer but I did to a sprite chicken once. And I tried a can of Rio too.
In some states you have at least a 5 cents deposit..so you are already out 5 cents which you will need towards your next meal. 😁
Save the beer and use citrus instead any kind will do and not only keeps moisture but adds a nice zing...
Use less liquid in your “beer can,” and leave the lid off. Only about a third full is best. Orange soda or Dr. Pepper makes a very good substitute for the beer too.
Looks incredible. I would not coat the whole chicken with sauce.
Great job.
Always feed the dog!
Not even 2 minutes into the video and I’m ordering that beer can chicken stand🤨 very cool 😎
Omg I'm so glad y'all figured that out I had know idea who needs a beer can lmao
You don't need that gadget. Grolsch and Warsteiner 0.5l cans don't contain any poison. Tes they"re painted but the paint doesn't come of and it's harmless. So do it the proper way, the can right up the butt and let the legs be your tripod, along with the can.
Add some reaper to the buffalo sauce and you will have something, or ghost pepper powder.
Majority of people don't enjoy eating something that hot.

Happy Monk Chicken! :D
Morrison … ur hilarious 😂
Love this chicken recipe !
when Morrison took the chicken apart I was like "holy s***!" hah
i have the big easy from charbroil we do a lot of beer can chickens and even better beer butt turkeys
Aka don’t poor that much beer in the replacement can. It’ll help getting is to a boil sooner, creating more steam.me and my brother did this compair testing with 3 chickens.

at 4:40 you say :I want to eat Chicken.... and than this sauce..?
The juiciest chicken I’ve ever had was every time I made beer can chicken and that’s one of my favorite beers also but hard to find around here
Roh you know this .
There is a fauldt here 😁
Ben ik niet de enige die dit weekend beer can chicken heeft gemaakt in Tonden 😄
Wondering how chicken would taste if you dumped out/drank the beer, and replaced it with white wine in the metal can!
You guys should try it!🙂👍
Man - ALWAYS remember = You are doin it for the costomers, not for your self! So - let it be about rosting a chicken, not you having fun!
It's the added moisture, which is a benefit. Dry chicken meat isn't tasty. That chicken looks great. Cheers, Morrison! 👍👍✌️
If you cook Chicken to the correct internal temp it will always be juicy.
Are you sure it's beer can chicken & not, bacon chicken?? 🤔 😂😋 Great video 👍🏾
New franchisee idea: MRC = Morrison’s Roasted Chicken. KFC, here comes your true competitor...
i'd definetly go there. I was once to a KFC and found it kinda disgusting, roasted chicken sounds so much better
Don’t like KFC. It’s too monotonous for my taste. Here in Australia, we’ve Red Rooster; they’re specialist in roasted chicken. Far better than KFC. Cheers, mate!
I was screaming nooooo in my mind when you doused that bird with buffalo sauce! Lol
Not a fan of buffalo sauce, but that chicken looks incredible!
Awesome!
How can it be everything you make is your “new” favorite? Beer can chicken as a favorite is a low bar.
Man they don't know nothing about classic BBQ all they know is pellet or gas grills and that's it no stick burner at all there shit would be burnt lol
Legend has it that mulled beer chicken is the 💩
phewwwwww, well done Morrison!!
Looks awesome. Ask pitmaster to cook goat.
Water boils at 212F degrees. Chicken is cooked at 165F. The beer won't boil or steam by the time the chicken is done so unless you pre boil the beer it is literally useless.
Yes man it's all bull shit lmao
That's why I use a bundt cake pan with foil over the hole. Cooks very even and holds all the juices to make a killer gravy.

No we want pitmaster x vids not this muppet...
@@stuartrussell891 dang dude. Why the hate?
i just realized that you're using imperial units instead of metric
Happy Dog, Happy Dog!
Hang on, Morrison - why does your buffalo sauce not include any buffalo?
It doesn't seem the beer adds anything to the chicken. It might add some moisture. The only way to figure that out would be two chickens on that stand fill one with beer leave the other one empty. Also do not add any hot sauce just simple bbq rub that's it.
Lol what a way to sale that product lmao
This is a nightmare for those with OCD the way he caught the chicken wow
it's just a novelty
Can I use something else besides the beer? Like if I can't eat wheat. 🥲
i mean, he said theres barely anything missing from the beer, so take whatever liquid you feel like, like chicken broth or nothing at all^^
@@derpizzadieb you're right, he did say it doesn't boil so it will be cool to experiment 🤘🏽😎
If you really want to do a beercan chicken, drink the beer and use water.
Eva a lucky dog 😅
Sexiest video on the entire PitmasterX channel 😅
Not a fan of that buffalo sauce ... But otherwise, it's ok.
Where is the real Pitmaster X? Not a fan of this knock off anymore...
morrison does the tuesdays. the pitmaster does thursday saturday and sunday
Need @@PITMASTERX everyday!

I feel ripped off when its Morrison and not pitmaster lol
Perfect crispy chicken skin ruined by pouring the sauce all over it... 🤦♂️
Your video titles seem to have become clickbaitish lately. Please stop with that nonsense.
Could you get the dog out of there. No dogs. I may Unsubscribe.
1st
Lmao
Yes everytime they cook with charcoal the shit looks burnt they don't know how to cook with a stick burner only pellet or gas grills
