Smoked Beer Can Chicken

Traditionally, beer can chicken is a grilling or tailgating food, and is cooked fast and furious. But smokers can get excellent results, too. The liquid in the can steams the inside of the chicken and helps to create a tenderer and tastier bird. Be adventurous in your choice of beverage—see if you can taste the difference between, say, beer, orange pop, or Dr Pepper.
