It's been a while since I have posted any food porn, so here some.
I know most of you spatch cock chickens, but I do like beer can chicken.
This is one of my recent roastings that I have done with a couple of chickens.

This is after an hour.

Cooked at around 225°- 250° the entire time.

Here they are again, after about 2 hours.

This is right at the finish mark.

Before all the haters come down on Beer Care Chicken and claim it does nothing to for the chicken at all. I don't even care, hell I don't care that studies have been done. I like it, and I will continue to cook with this method.
 
A couple of fine looking chickens Max!! I prefer Spatchcocking but some times I like doing Beer can chickens too, like you I don't care what the so called experts say. Its cooking not rocket science, I cook because I like to and I get hungry and need to eat.
 
Yeah they were great, spiced them up with about 5 cloves of garlic each a full onion between them, then some thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, onion powder, poultry seasoning, and some butter. Slid that under the skin of the breasts, and thighs. They turned out great, had great crunchy skin too. I took about 2 tablespoons of oil and rubbed the skin down, then salted the skin heavily with some kosher salt.
