About

Cooking chicken on a beer can is nothing new – they’ve been doing it for years in Australia and the US. The secret is that the beer keeps the inside of the chicken nice and moist. Of course, it can just be oven roasted in the normal way or spatchcocked and barbecued. If you don’t like it too hot, adjust the number of chillies in the marinade.
