Bud Light Chicken

Bud Light Chicken Recipe

Spicy and very moist grilled chicken, it's absolutely yummy and spicy. I am a big fan of spices, growing up in the south and my grandmama always using the little red and green peppers in just about everything; I learned to really enjoy their flavor.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 roasting chicken
  • 1 cup margarine
  • 2 tablespoons Tony Chachere's Seasoning (I use it with just about everything)
  • 1 tablespoon cayenne
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper
  • 1/2 tablespoon sea salt
  • 1 (12 ounce) can Bud Light beer

Instructions
 

  • Light your grill, I use gas and I put it on a low setting.
  • Crack open a Bud Lite and drink about half of it.
  • In a sauce pan, melt butter.
  • Once the butter has been melted add the Tony's, cayenne, and paprika. Allow to simmer for about 3-5 minutes.
  • Add black pepper and sea salt and simmer for about 5 minutes.
  • Spoon about a quarter to half of the ingredients into the can of the remaining Bud Lite. If you do it too fast it will fizz all over the place and turns into a big mess. Do it slowly.
  • Sit the chicken on top of the can, you are going to want to use a small round metal pan underneath the chicken. It makes for less mess later when you are cleaning your grill.
  • Take the remaining portion of the sauce with the chicken out to the grill. Place your sauce to the side and place the chicken on the grill.
  • Using a BBQ brush, brush the mixture all over the chicken. Just like doing a BBQ, you will brush on more and more every 15-30 minutes.
  • **** Now, depending on your grill, it may take only about two hours to fully cook or it could take three hours. I have made this on a few different grills and this is about the range of time I've experienced. Don't rely on time, when it's done it's done and boy is it good!*****.
