Title: Apple smoked beer-can chicken
Post by: WoodlawnSmoker on May 10, 2014, 04:23:40 PM
What a beautiful spring day here, just had to top it off with a smoked beer-can chicken.  I drank the beer but put in some fresh squeezed lemon juice and rosemary into the can.  I was pretty pleased with the result, lovely.

Brushed with yellow mustard and then sprinkled with Jan's Rub, great combo.

Nice looking chicken. After you squeeze out the lemon juice, use the lemon to plug the neck cavity of the chicken. That helps trap a little more of the favor that will infuse into the meat.

That's an excellent idea for using the rest of the lemon, I'll do that next time, thanks.
