Victoryred's Famous Beer Can Chicken is a popular way of cooking chicken on the grill. This method involves placing a beer can inside the chicken and standing it upright on the grill to cook. The beer evaporates while cooking, providing moisture to the chicken and infusing the meat with flavor. The seasoning used in this recipe provides a delicious taste and a crispy texture to the skin. This method of cooking chicken is not only fun but also creates a juicy and flavorful meal. Perfect for barbecue parties, family dinners, or any special occasion.

2.Rinse the chicken inside and out and pat dry with paper towels.
3.In a small bowl, mix together the garlic salt, paprika, pepper, celery salt, onion powder, and sesame seeds to make the seasoning.
4.Open the beer can and pour half of the beer into the drip pan. Add the seasoning to the beer in the can and mix well.
5.Place the beer can on a solid surface and place the chicken over the beer can, legs down. Stretch out the wings to keep them from touching the grill.
6.Brush the chicken with the melted butter.
7.Place the chicken on the grill, standing upright on the beer can, and close the lid.
8.Cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165°F.
