- Опубликовано: 7 ноя 2023
- Beer Can Chicken is a BBQ classic, so I thought why not employ this technique when cooking a turkey? No matter your feelings on if cooking poultry on a can provides any moisture benefit or not, people love to cook poultry on a beer can. Plus it is fun!

Years ago I made a beer can Turkey with a Fosters. It does work. Drink some of the beer to make room for the seasonings. Add more of the same seasonings outside the bird with olive oil. It steams the inside. Best turkey ever.
The brine is legit. Family already asking/confirming that I’m cooking the turkey. I look forward to another great meal.
I have used it the last 3 years. Brine, 1.5 hour smoke, then deep fried..
Love the content. Would you ever do a smoked duck video on a pellet grill if you haven't already?
Love it Matt! I like 50/50 cherry and pecan with Turkey!
Used the Meat Church for Thanksgiving this year and I am a convert. That stuff really works! I stocked up for Christmas just to be ready!
I am in east Los Angeles and we bbq, I decided to make a beer can turkey and everyone thought I was crazy and it’s the most delicious and juicy turkey I’ve ever tasted from now on I am going beer can turkey every year don’t care what anyone says
I think I just found how I'm gonna do the Turkey this year! Thanks Matt!
This guy is always coming out with some amazing ideas.
Love it! And I am a big fan of the brine!
Thanks for the video..! Followed your steps, Just smoked a 14 lbr, came out awesome..!
How I like my Chicken..DONE! Making this bad boy this year Matt and as always appreciate you and your outstanding videos! ..GO BOYS💙
Cant believe I have never brined a turkey. Just got your brine mix the other day, im extremely excited to try it for thanksgiving.
Looks awesome Matt! Great Job!
Always enjoy your videos Matt. I watch and rewatch, take notes then actually pull the trigger on whatever we are cooking. Turkey, overnight briskets, I have done them all thanks to you! This stuff can be intimidating, but you make it easier. Thanks!
Agreed. I have followed Meat Church and every recipe I've done has been great!
I've never done a can cook, but I like the little throne things as it makes it look like the bird is sitting for a poop and I find that hilarious.
Bird looks awesome brother,keep the videos coming
Nice guitar for the seasoning part….😊
That Bird is Glorious!!! 🦃🤘🏼🔥
Awesome video. I am planning on doing 3 this year. Texas Thanksgiving! I was going to take your beer canned chicken recipe and do it with the turkey. I was a bit nervous, but now I’m a lot less after seeing this video. Thanks man.
Another Great Video 👍 Great content, keep up the great work!
Excellent video as always. Love your recipes. I watch , rewatch. And then I’ll usually pick one every weekend. Keep it up Matt
We are exactly the same at my house!
My Treager pro22 isn't big enough for that size bird..... lol, since watching your channel I will always brine! Done it a few times and it makes a big difference. I also just started injecting, over the top. Thanks for all your vids, great info for us beginners and pros alike.
Yum! This turkey looks good!
Looks awesome as usual Matt thank you 🙏
My pleasure!
As long as your not using Bud Light you'll be just fine!
Winner Winner Chicken Can Dinner!!! 🍺 🦃
Definitely trying the brine this year - I’m a huge pepper fan as well. Looking forward to my favorite holiday!
I've done 3 20lbs turkeys with their brine and seasoning, Noting makes it juicier you wont be disappointed trust me! The key is the brine.
Thank you for sharing great job!
My pleasure!
Awesome video!
Definitely gonna try this, it looks amazing. 1 Forth Worth Craft beer for the chicken, and 11 for me.
Matt love the videos! How long would you dry brine a frozen turkey that was in a salt solution?
Thanks Matt Great video Brother, You are the BBQ Go to man as Always!!!!! Can't wait to try this one!!!!!!!!
Thank you!!!!
Thanks Meat Church for another idea. I'm pulling the trigger on the brine this year on a test run before Thanksgiving.
Enjoy!!!!
"I haven't taken it off the can yet, as you all know thats kinda a pain in the ass." 😂
Im doing a Dr Pepper can turkey video tomorrow. I love the way it looks standing up like that.
Nice!
Oh yea. Good looking
I can almost taste it now.
So good
Hell yeah! Gold top turkey.
LOL yep!
I use pie plates. A regular BC chicken up to a Turkey sits perfectly in a 9 inch pie pan
Also helps to collect renderings for spoon basting and gravy etc.
Every time when I watch these videos. . . .I want to eat my laptop. Would you use the Holy Gospel for that?!?!?! Matt keep up the great work! Love all your products!
Holy Gospel, Gospel, Texas Sugar, Voodoo, Honey Hog….all good choices!
I like the Voodoo
Sorry I missed you last weekend. My wife and I drove to Austin from Wichita. Stopped at your store and bought a shirt and a couple mugs for souvenirs! I was hoping to shake your hand and tell you in person how much I like your work Matt. Cheers brother and thanks for the videos!!
I'm in Hawaii at their Food & Wine. Thank you for coming in!
A can opener takes a lid off of a beer perfectly when doing beer can poultry. Makes it easier add seasoning and herbs
Thank you for addressing the warm up the brine thing it wasn't clear from the turkey breast video. I bought bird baptism and I'm ready to rock and roll thanks again Matt
Good luck!
So medium high temperature makes skin crispy? Had problems with rubbery skin !
Trying ur brine this yr!! TY!!
Looks great, I just placed an order for the ingrediants.
Hope you enjoy. Thank you!!
As always, great video! I’d love to see a collab with Sam the Cooking Guy.
We plan to. I endorsed his new book.
Looks really great; Question: What background music are you playing! It's as Kicking as this bird recipe! Thanks.
I have cooked a turkey on an OIL CAN 🛢 of Foster's... on a Weber 22.5 ...The best turkey I have ever made!!
Looks Great. Thanks for the Tips.

All time favorite rub for turkey? Last year I did honey hog bbq but trying to decide if I should try something else. Everyone loved it last year.
Honey Hog & Voodoo are my go to. Holy Gospel is a close 3rd. I'd go Voodoo.
I am all about the brine. I use it year after year, and during the year cause my wife and I love the turkey sandwiches all the time.
Question, I tried to understand what you were saying about the skin. I cook at the 275 mark and my skin always seems to be rubbery. How do I make it crispy? I’ve tried butter spritz, hotter toward the end of the cook but can’t seem to get it right. I’ve even tried removing the skin prior to the cook and dusting it down with your herb and garlic dust, but that made it tough on the outside. Last year I simply removed the skin prior to serving. Didn’t look to good but tasted great. Would love to have some advice on getting the skin edible.
I would have to wear a sack over my head so people wouldn't know I was buying a Miller lite.😂
Was wondering if you have had a problem with the paint on the cans before,because I've had the paint disappear from the can before on chicken. So I bought a trager chicken throne that works great. Don't know if they have one for turkey.
Been doing this for a couple years. I use Fosters. The large can size is perfect for turkey.
Awesome.
Cooked this last night for my work’s thanksgiving today. Had at least 10 people tell me it was the best turkey they have ever had!
Looks good brother. How about Thanksgiving sides?
Love your videos Matt do you prefer this or the spatchcock turkey?
Spatch is my #1
@meatchurchbbq do you recommend brining a pre-brined turkey?
Amen brother, down with the haters!
"Who cares what the haters say?" - MATT PITTMAN
I use his brine on chicken and it tastes really good.
Thank you!!!!!!
No worries I have been hip to your products for a while now. It's just blows my mind that you can meat church, Ferglious and Looty and Booty at ace hardware.@@MeatChurchBBQ
Has anyone tried this with lemonade or a shandy (beer + lemonade)? Chicken cooked with lemonade steam sounds delicious.
Great Vid. Where did you source the Turkey from? Can't wait to try it out.
My local HEB grocery store.
That looks amazing but my Traeger is barely tall enough to do a beer can chicken let alone a turkey... But you're right, taking the it off the can is a pain in the ass haha.
What would the brine time be for a previously frozen turkey now thawed?
Works best on a Fosters can. 💡
No reason to not brine a turkey. It's like it's a completely different meat. People who say cooking on beer can does nothing, have either done it wrong or haven't tried it.
Yea I think the way the bird sits is the biggest thing, it seems to baste itself similar to rotisserie in a way!
I also use a potato or something to plug up the neck hole
Every reason to brine a turkey. Obviously your a Yankee
@@JAWGA912If you read his comment that’s what he said. He used double negative.
@@JAWGA912obviously your illiterate
How long would you leave a 20lb turkey in the brine?
When you rinse off the brine does that remove the flavor ? …. Thanks
👍🏻👍🏻
I wish traeger still made alder pellets. I cant find those anywhere anymore
Matt, I don’t see any pork chops on your RUclips channel. Can this be possible?
Random question: what brand are your embroidered shirts? They'd be perfect for my business.
Dickies
Would you recommend injecting if you cook it this way? If so, any recommendations on a injection? I plan to use your brine and deez nuts seasoning.
Mayonnaise as a binder for poultry seems interesting. I'm guessing the oil in the mayonnaise helps crisp the skin?
The protein (eggs) acts as a moisture barrier. It works!
I want to try that Turkey brine! I would super smoke it for an hour and then bump it up to 275. Love your info Matt! Thanks brother!
Any time!
I'll be trying this one too,
Any chance you can do a tamale recipe for the holidays
Got 5 gallons of beef tallow, that's what I'm frying our turkey in this year
Interesting. My fam wouldn’t want the beef flavor but keep me posted on your results and the reaction. Curious!
What about the plastic inner layer inside the beer can?? I think it will melt
Only tip I have after cooking this for many years, fosters king can, much wider than a Miller light 22, more stable, don't need the pan.
The pan is optional and catching the drippings for gravy.
Hey Matt can you teach us how to smoke oxtail on a pellet grill. Please. let's 💨💨💨 #meat church
I was that hater and then my sister in law sent me one of those pans for beer can chicken as a joke but I am a believer now
Use a good beer with flavor. Use a crowler from a craft Brewery. A darker beer just don't use a lager or pilsner.
Is beer gives any taste? What’s the reason for using beer?
Thats about the only thing a Miller light is good for.
You're gonna do a chicken on your turkey? Subtle and funny, classic.
Ok I have the bird baptism brine and plan on brining the turkey overnight. Here’s my question…is it counterintuitive to brine it a day early, pull it out of the brine,and then let it sit in the fridge uncovered for a day to dry the skin? Trying for a best of both worlds, but don’t want to nullify the wet brine.
Oh for Petes sake!...why not Shiner Bock? (BTW, I have everything bought for the bourbon maple spatchcock so THERE!)
Hey Matt, is it true that you shouldn’t brine a butterball turkey or other brand that are pre brined
I have brined them because it's the only turkey I can get around here, it works fine definatly worth it.
agreed
Purdue makes a specific can of beer just for beer can chicken! All the flavors you want in a chicken! Don’t recommend drinking it though!
Drunken Turkey
I always wonder how much of the plastic that lines the inside of the can ends up in the meat.
Can a treager chicken throne work with a turkey ?
Was thinking the same thing....but the throne might be too short
I hope we can I have 3 of them
They make different sizes?!
I dont know I have the treager chicken throne not turkey
@@Cadency15 we have the white porcelain one
Lfggggggg! Taking notes now ❤
Still use the brine with a store bought turkey? Not too salty?
No because it will reach equilibrium. If the turkey has 10% brine and you put it into a 8% brine soak it’ll reach 8-9%. It’s the same thing if you over salt pasta, pour the water out and use non salted water to boil it. It’ll pull the salt out of the pasta.
Can you actually taste the beer?
Question... It's risky to shoot to have a large smoked meat ready at a specific time. I'm not giving my mother in law another reason to tell the family I'm an idiot while everyone waits. Can I shoot to have it ready several hours early and 'hold' the bird at 140 degrees until ready to serve (like brisket)?
I wrap in foil and stick it in an igloo cooler that's at room temperature. It'll stay warm for a couple of hours that way and it won't dry out near as bad if you continue heating it.
You could pre game it. Buy a turkey this weekend and smoke it while timing how long it takes to do the whole thing?
Disinvite your mother in law, everybody wins.
I've smoked turkey breast and held in a cooler for several hours and it was great
you've done turkey a lot of ways - Ok whats your favorite?
Last week's with creole butter was really good.
@MeatChurchBBQ Thank you Have a great Thanksgiving
The breast meat looked dry to me. I think spatchcocking the turkey would be better on a pellet smoker. Beer can method might work better on an offset with the airflow cooking the breast faster.
