Put Together Your Menu
A Super Bowl Party is not the time to go gourmet and serve a fancy meal paired with expensive wines. Think of it as an indoor tailgate, sports bar at home, or a home stadium. That means everything should taste good, be easy to eat while watching the game, and be fairly low maintenance throughout your party.
The three basic parts of a Super Bowl menu are food, drinks, and dessert.
Superbowl Party Recipes: Beer Can Chicken
Ingredients
- 1 (4 to 5-pound) whole chicken
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 (12 ounce) can beer
Directions
- Remove giblets, neck and excess fat from inside the chicken. Thoroughly wash chicken inside and out, and pat dry with paper towels.
- In a small bowl combine the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika; set aside.
- First, rub outside of chicken with oil then rub inside and out with the spice mixture. Set aside.
- Open the can of beer and pour out half into a cold mug for yourself or a good friend.
- Set the beer can onto a solid, steady surface. Holding the chicken upright with the opening of the body cavity down, set the chicken down onto the half-full beer can.
- Place chicken in the center of a preheated grill, adjusting the legs of the chicken off to the sides to form a “tripod” to help support the body of the chicken on top of the can.
- Cook chicken over medium-high, indirect heat (ie: the hot coals or burners are off to the side), covered, for about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours or until the meat reaches 170°F in the breast and 180°F in the thigh, or until thigh juices run clear when pierced with a fork.
- Remove chicken from the grill and let rest for about 10 minutes before carving.
Makes 4 servings.
