    GrillX Recipe: Perfect Beer Can Chicken from the BBQ
    With the GrillX BBQ Bierblikkip Houder you can prepare super juicy and flavorful chicken, a real showstopper on the BBQ!

    Spice Mix (BBQ-style)
    Mix in a bowl:
    2 teaspoons paprika powder
    1 teaspoon smoked paprika powder
    1 teaspoon garlic powder
    1 teaspoon onion powder
    1 teaspoon thyme (dried)
    1 teaspoon oregano
    1 teaspoon salt
    ½ teaspoon black pepper
    ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
    1 teaspoon brown sugar (for a slightly sweet BBQ flavor)

    How to make it:
    Preparation:
    Pat the chicken dry and rub with olive oil.
    Massage the spice mix all over the chicken (including under the skin where possible).

    Prepare the beer can:
    Open the can and pour away half of the beer.
    Optionally add some of the spices or a slice of lemon to the can.
    Place the can in the GrillX holder.

    Place the chicken:
    Carefully slide the chicken over the can so it sits firmly upright.
    On the BBQ (indirect heat):
    Preheat the BBQ to 180–200°C.
    Place the chicken with the holder on the grill, close the lid.
    Cook for ±75–90 minutes (internal temperature of 75°C in the thickest part of the thigh).

    Let it rest:
    Carefully remove the chicken from the can and let it rest for 10 minutes.
    Carve and serve!

    Tip from GrillX:
    For extra flavor you can add a few fresh herbs or garlic cloves to the beer can. Use a meat thermometer for perfect results!

Beer Can Chicken is a true BBQ classic. By roasting the chicken upright over a beer can the meat becomes wonderfully juicy inside and the outside develops a nice crispy crust. Always use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect doneness.

Be sure to let the chicken rest for 10 minutes after cooking before you carve it. This keeps the juices in the meat. Serve with a fresh salad or grilled vegetables for a complete BBQ meal.
