How to make Beer Can Chicken

What happens here

Once the grill is preheated to 350°F, carefully transfer both chickens (still on their beer cans in the aluminum pans) to the grill grates. Ensure the meat probe is securely inserted into the thickest part of one of the chicken breasts. If using a second probe, insert it into the second chicken. Sprinkle any remaining seasoning from the pans onto the chickens. Close the grill lid and allow the chickens to cook. Monitor the internal temperature via the grill's display or the smartphone app. The goal is an internal temperature of 165°F. Cooking time will be approximately 1 hour, but this can vary based on chicken size and grill consistency. Avoid opening the grill lid too often, as 'if you're lookin', you ain't cookin'.

Goal: Place the prepared chickens on the preheated grill, insert the meat probe, and close the lid to cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
