Beer can chicken

[PennyLab]

going with a double beer can chickens tomorrow - what’s the best temp to go with, crispy skin preferred.

 

[chilerelleno]

275° to 375°
Make sure the skin of the birds is dry as possible.

I would say around 275-
325, you can always pull it a little early and crank your oven up to 325-350 to crisp it up

 

[JJS]

I do mine 275-325

 

[Berettaclayshooter]

A light oiling of the skin before you add your rub also goes toward crisping the skin.

 

[jcam222]

Try a light dusting of baking powder on that skin. Like others said keep the temp nice and high

Yup, definitely better at the 350-375º range. While my smoker can easily get to that range I've since changed my approach to whole chicken (with or w/out the can). See below in sig...
