Beer Can Chicken

Beer Can Chicken is a classic BBQ dish that's both flavourful and fun to prepare. For this recipe we are using our Beer Can Chicken Rub. The beer keeps the meat very juicy. Then the chicken is finished off with our Honey Hickory BBQ Sauce which results in crispy, golden brown skin. Perfect for your next backyard cookout or family gathering.
