BBQ Beer Can Chicken

OMG! This recipe is oh so good! When my husband was carving the chicken he couldn't stop eating it. He was even eating the skin it was that good! I can also speak to how good the skin was as I had  some too and I never eat the skin. The flavour was unbelieveable and it was so crispy and juicy at the same time. I highly recommend scrolling down and finding the recipe down at the bottom.

Sunday's are usually really busy for us with my oldest son having hockey mid day, me doing my meal planning and grocery shopping, and then I usually get dinner ready before heading off to my hockey to rush home in time to sit down to dinner with the family. It's usually exhausting! But today my son didn't have hockey and neither did I. I had also already done our meal planning and grocery shopping as we were in Dryden for a hockey Jamboree and we stopped at Walmart to get what we needed for the week as well as to stock up on Pantry items. You see, when you live in a small town off the main highway you pay insane prices for groceries. So, when you have the opportunity to save some money at the big box stores you take it and run!! All this being said, we had an extremely relaxing Sunday. It was actually beautiful outside today (2 degrees Celsius) so we shoveled out the swing set and played in the backyard before heading out for a walk around the neighbourhood before lunch. Once lunch was done I was even able to take the dog out for a walk while our youngest napped!

We did have to go to the store as cooking the chicken as a beer can chicken was a last minute decision and we needed to pick up some beer to cook with (drinking and BBQing). Now it was time to get started with the cooking! One thing that really helps to get a good juicy and crispy chicken is a good BBQ that holds a consistent heat. We bought our Weber BBQ 2 years ago and it is amazing! It holds its heat at a consistent temperature and is so easy to use and clean.

As you can see my husband paired his chicken and salad with a Nautical Disaster Dry Hopped IPA from the Lake of the Woods Brewing Company. Their Beer is delicious and if you're ever in the Kenora, ON area I also highly recommend a visit to their restaurant. The food is great, the atmosphere is even better and their shop is super cute!
