Dr. Pepper up the butt chicken porn

[low&slow]

I smoked a chicken today using the can up the butt method. I used Dr. Pepper this time and it turned out pretty darn good. Nice crispy skin.
I didn't brine it or anything special. I used some McCormick's steak rub and Fiesta chicken rub. Rubbed it all over inside and out, plugged the neck hole with an apple, and shoved the Dr. Pepper up its butt. Smoked it at 250 for 2 hours. It was mighty good. Made mama happy

Wv.....LMAO ....we all learn that one early ..lol

This is a stupid question but do you open the Dr Pepper before?

 

[squeezy]

You most certainly do, also good to extra holes top and upper sides and the can should only be about one third to half full.

I have only used beer so far, but I understand that cola and ginger ale are good also.

I'd love to see someone use a sealed can .....with pics

Good looking bird there. Havent used dr pepper on chicken before but have on brisket and turned out great.

Nice.....what an incredible, dark brown color you got there!

I've got to stop doing can-chicken in the oven.....it never looks half as good.

When the smoker lid gets blown off, it's done. Peel the chicken off the inside of the lid.

Good looking chicken. I have never tried the Dr. on chicken, but can only imagine that it was awesome.

Hey, looks great. I'm gonna borrow that one if you don't mind. But can we please change the name from "chicken up the butt" to something else?

 

[packrat]

Is that deep color from the Dr. Pepper, or simply the smoke? It's beautiful.

 

[low&slow]

I surely dont mind if you borrow it. You can even change the name to whatever you like. I've heard it called "beer up the butt chicken, beer can chicken and cowboy chicken. I'm sure theres a lot of different names for it.
But it sure is good whatever it might be called.

Thanks pr. The darkness is from the smoke.

Thank you everybody for the compliments.
