To the Farmers ~ Beer Recipe!
I wanted to give a shout out out to ALL the farmers out there; the hay makers, the row croppers, the gardeners, dairies, and all those who make reaping a crop even possible!!!
I feel like this is the message that Busch is conveying with their “For the Farmers” cans.
I am not much of a beer drinker, but I can definitely raise a can of an American Made, cold Busch after a long, sweaty day in the fields!!
The last few days have been a bit slower. Rain days are always a blessing come late July here in the Midwest for us Farmers, so what better way than to unwind and relax with a beer in one hand and a fork full of Beer Butt Home Raised Chicken.
Full recipe:
Beer Butt Chicken (in the smoker)
INGREDIENTS
3 tbsp Smoky Applewood Rub (add more or less to taste)
2 1/2 tbsp olive oil
1 whole broiler-fryer chicken (you can snag yours from Wieczorek Farms!)
1 can Busch beer
DIRECTIONS
Prepare smoker (or grill) to 240° - will need to cook for 2.5 hours depending your smoker/grill.
Coat chicken with olive oil and rub your bird down - use as much or as little as desired. I used Pampered Chefs Smokey Applewood Rub.
Attach can holder to BBQ Roasting Pan. Pour out about one-fourth of the beer from can to provide space for drippings. Place beer can in can holder of roasting pan. Place chicken over can holder so that the can is upright in the cavity of the chicken.
Place roasting pan on rack in smoker / grill and Cooke for 2 hours or until golden and Chriispy!
Serve with mashed potatoes & fresh corn on the cob!!
