Beer can chicken gets put to the test on the grill with a hilarious motorcycle-style chicken stand, a Coors Light can, and a full check of flavor, moisture, and texture. The chicken is seasoned with Killer Hogs AP rub and Yard Bird, then smoked with cherry wood until the breast reaches temperature and the skin starts to crisp.

What starts as a ridiculous BBQ gimmick turns into a real cooking experiment. The chicken smells like beer, the wing comes off easily, and the meat pulls apart tender and juicy, but the big question still hangs in the air: does beer can chicken actually make the chicken better, or is it just more fun to cook?

This is backyard grilling, BBQ review, and barbecue experiment content with a playful tone, simple prep, and a focus on smoked whole chicken. It’s a great pick for fans of grilling recipes, smoker cooks, chicken on the grill, and honest food tests.

00:00Is this the end-all be-all of beer can chicken accessories? Thanks to Tom's ridiculous things
00:05we're gonna find out right now. We're gonna pop the top on this Coors Light and we're gonna slam
00:09it down in our Canadian biker chicken mount. Now it's time to prep our chicken and much like my
00:14senior prom it starts with a good pat down. This is good for removing a little excess moisture.
00:19It's gonna help crisp up that skin and the back end. Now I'm gonna go ahead and spray this down
00:24with some spray vegetable oil. I made a mistake here by putting it back on the stand. I don't
00:28know why I thought I could season it like this but I'm gonna go ahead and pull it back off
00:31and then
00:32season it the right way. So I'm gonna get started here with the little Killer Hogs AP Rub. I like
00:38to
00:38get it high up in the air because I feel like I'm like doing some fancy Salt Bay level stuff
00:42but you
00:42want to make sure you get under the arms, get all the cracks and crevices, flip it over. Don't get
00:47too too crazy but don't be afraid to season your chicken. Now I'm gonna follow it up with some
00:52yard birds because I'm out of our rub over at skullandmortar.com but it should be in stock by
00:57the time you see this video. But yard bird is a great rub. You can use whatever rub you want.
01:02If you're liking this video though make sure you hit a like, a subscribe, a comment, something. It's
01:07free and it helps the algorithm. Now it's time to get this bad boy mounted. I probably should have
01:12cut this chicken fat off here but you know I'm already into it so we're already doing it. We're
01:17gonna go ahead and sit it right down on top of this beer. First off dude this thing is funny
01:22as hell
01:22straight out of the gate. I love this already. It's even got some little sunglasses you can throw
01:27on top for ultimate cool and biker badassery. That's all the prep we need. I'm gonna get
01:32my smoker ready. I'm gonna use some cherry wood because I like them soft boys but you use what
01:36you prefer.
02:10Now we finally got our chicken on the smoker. I'm gonna go ahead and probe the breast here so I
02:15can
02:15get the internal temperature up to about 170 degrees and then I'll take a look at whether
02:21or not I think it's done. Guys this thing is ridiculous. It aptly comes from Tom's ridiculous
02:28things. This thing is absolutely ridiculous but for all the right reasons. Look at this chicken.
02:34Looking dope as hell. Riding a motorcycle straight onto my dinner plate. Let's pull off his little
02:41shades here. We got his hands free from the handlebars. Look at that guy right there. I can smell
02:45the beer. There definitely is a beer smell for sure. Let's see if I can get the the beer out
02:51of the
02:51rectum. Much like Terry's mom. They do not like to release the beer out of the rectum huh? There we
02:58go.
02:59You guys want a drink of that? That looks freaking gross doesn't it? This wing right here is ready to
03:04bust. Let's go ahead and pop that right on off of there. Let's give the ring the wing a try.
03:09Get
03:09rid of this little goof troop right here. You can definitely smell beer coming off of this thing for
03:16sure. The wings phenomenal. It's great. The flavor is amazing. It's good. It's moist. A lot of times
03:31people bust out their wings for sure but I really want to get into this body here
03:36and see how that beer affected the meat. Let's just cut a piece of that right there.
03:47Wow it's it literally is falling apart. It's so tender.
04:00It's great. It's super tender. It's super moist. Does this thing right here
04:05make your chicken better while you cook it? I don't know. That's the honest answer.
04:10But it sure as hell does make it more fun. This thing is cool as hell. It's a conversation starter
04:16and it's fun. And that's what grilling and barbecuing is all about. Good times. Good food.
