Beer Can Chicken is a fun and flavorful way to roast a whole chicken that turns out juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. You season the chicken with a dry rub, then place it upright over an open half-full can of beer and roast it (usually on a grill or in the oven). The beer steams the chicken from the inside, keeping it moist, while the skin crisps up beautifully. It’s low-effort, big-flavor, and always a crowd-pleaser.
