Grilled Beer Can Chicken with Jam Glaze

Looking for a tasty beer can chicken with a jam glaze? You can source these items straight from the Venice Farmers Market every Saturday!

• Whole, fresh chicken from Red’s Farm

• Jam from Jamie’s Jams

• Honey from Earth’s Complete or Jamies Jams

• Olive Oil from Earth’s Complete

Ingredients:

• 1 whole chicken

• 1 can of beer

• 1/4 cup of your favorite jam (apricot, peach, or raspberry work well)

• 1 tablespoon of honey

• 1 tablespoon of soy sauce

• 1 tablespoon of olive oil

• 1 teaspoon of garlic powder

• Salt and pepper

Instructions:

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together the jam, honey, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

3. Open the can of beer and pour out about 1/4 cup of the liquid. Set the can on a sturdy surface and place the chicken over the can, so the can is inside the cavity of the chicken. Use the legs to balance the chicken on the can.

4. Brush the chicken with the jam glaze, making sure to get it in all the nooks and crannies.

5. Carefully transfer the chicken to the grill and cook for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165°F.

6. Brush the chicken with the remaining jam glaze every 20 minutes or so while it cooks.

7. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before carefully removing it from the can. Discard the can and carve the chicken as desired.

Enjoy your delicious beer can chicken with jam glaze!
