I can't even begin to tell you how much of a difference you've made in my bbq. The huge confidence boost knowing that this is how it's done and that I can easily follow your directions and make great food for my family. My family and I thank you for imparting and sharing your vast knowledge onto everyone. From ribs, brisket, chicken, pulled pork, and beef. Subbed to your website, newsletter, and TH-cam. Keep up the amazing work. Helping make the average cooker much better through your experience of trial and error. Thank you so much for everything you do.
Malcom you are without a doubt my favorite youtube BBQ channel.. I wont que anything without watching you.. Thank you for teaching me how to smoke like the big boys!!!
I love these older videos to see where Malcom came from. He’s built a great channel, a great business, and a big subscriber number the old-fashioned way - outstanding content! Good for you Malcom!
Thanks for the great videos. Sorry people have to be such tools and bash and make stupid comments about painted beer cans. I'm embarrassed for them. Some of us played in the dirt, and drank out of the hose, hell we even survived driving in the back of a pick up trucks. Keep up the great work.... Big fan here
i got some of that thar yuppie micro brew beer in cans & the plastic labels just peel off cans......my self ,i was more concerned about plastic lining on inside of beer can melting....it's good though, kinda like moose turd pie....my friend who passed away recently, always called it" beer can up the ass chicken".
Malcolm, there is no one better than you. I love all your videos. They have taken me places where I would not have gone without them. Thank you for showing that smoking is not rocket science.
Thanks man. As a complete beginner with no idea what I was doing, I followed your method and just cooked the best tasting chicken I've ever done. Tip top!
I'm a newb smoker and did a whole chicken a few weeks back and found the skin to be super rubbery. Thanks for clearing up why that was. I smoked it at to low of a temp. Your videos have helped me out a ton!!!!!
You are the best on the net man. I use all of your recipes all year long. Friends and extended family love it. I bring the smoked turkey to thanksgiving every year and it's a jaw dropper. Thanks for the good times.
I'm new to smoking on a pellet grill and I really appreciate your channel. So far everyone has enjoyed everything that's come off my smoker. Thanks for sharing your expertise with us!
Great video!. I am a little bummed that this video was so far down on the recommend, maybe because of the age, but this is far better that all of the videos I have watched.
great recipe.. did it with "bone suckin sauce" for the seasoning and it came out great.. did another one with "slap ya mama" cajun seasoning and it came out amazing too.. did them in a vertical smoker with a pan of beer and crab boil right over the coals and under the chicken... Amazing!!
I wondering why the hell anybody would give this a thumbs down?I mean I have made this several times and it’s delicious.The guy takes time out of his day to show some of us rookies how to cook and he gets thumbs down.Just keep doing what your doing Malcom.Im enjoying your videos.
Hello Malcomb; I do my BBC just as you do. I also add onions and garlic to the beer can liquid, I also close up the top at the neck with tooth picks to hold all the heat and the steam from the BB can. Instead of beer , I like to use apple juice. What ever you use for a liquid, this is a great way to cook chicken. Instead of turkey for thanksgiving, we are cooking 2 real nice size hens instead of a turkey. Happy Holidays Malcomb
You've saved my life with your home cooking. Not to be light hearted. My family finally accepts me when I cook your food. Let's link up to save more lives!
Fantastic video. I tried this and it worked great. Use a tall boy, drink half and then fill the other half with BBQ sauce. Use it a as a dipping sauce. Better than good.
Malcom,that chicken looked amazing,just went out ,got a chicken,found my injector, going to unsweetened apple juice and throw some rosemary into the beer can.Thanks for the info,I’ll let you know how it went🇨🇦👍🇺🇸
Mr. Reed, I made your smoked brisket for xmas. Wow, it was so good, the whole family loved it. Now ive been watching all your videos. Beer chicken for Super Bowl Sunday. Yes I live in Denver. Thanks for what you do!
I really love your videos you put up on TH-cam are my go to guy for cooking things on my pellet grill smoker Joel Pritchard From burlingtion Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
Hey Malcom, just about a few weeks ago I tried a chicken like this and the next day just to compare, I did one with lemon pepper seasoning and some lemon zest and in place of the beer, a can of lemonade. It was surprisingly good, if you haven't done that before I would really recommend it.
Malcolm, you're the goto guy for smoking around here. I"m not a huge chicken fan but this is an amazing bird. Cherry and Bud Light was definitely the way to go. Thanks man.
First time I've seen this done in a smoker. We've done quite a few on the Q but now we will do one in the smoker. Looks great and I am sure it will be. I will be back with the results we get on our vertical gas smoker.
Just bought my first smoker today - WSM. Checked out many of your vids and sir I like your style. Looking forward to my days off to try your rib and now chicken recipes. You keep it simple and explain the process well. Keep it up - we're watching.
Looks fantastic, I love the crispy skin! I usually spray my beer can with cooking oil to avoid the chicken getting stuck in the end. Try this next time and I'm sure you will be happy with then result.
Love your recipes, thank you for sharing! I use them all the time. What is great is beer can turkey as well. Find small bird, follow your exact same recipe, except substitute the chicken broth injection with turkey broth. It's fantastic too!
Thanks Malcolm. Did this tonight. If it weren't for my digital thermometer crapping out near the end of my cook all would have been perfect. Going to try your meatloaf later this week. Keep up the great videos, you're awesome.
Your AMAZING dude I truly enjoy watching your videos to see your passion for cooking reflect in your videos is awesome you got such a awesome spirit as well God Bless you brother!!!
It's what's for dinner tonight! Thanks for all of your videos. Your channel has become our go to source for grilling and smoking. We've done everything from briskets to standing rib roasts to turkey on our kamado style ceramic cooker. Bottom line? If we are doing something new on the smoker then we search your channel for how to do it right!
Malcom, I swear I'm getting a pellet smoker thanks to your channel. The Yoder looks to be the boss. It may be a Traeger though, cause that's what they got in my town.
Malcom, great post. You can't match the beer can method for smoking whole chickens, however, I soon realized that the beer, really doesn't add anything to the chicken. I use a vertical roaster on top of a tin pie plate. Works great. I'd like to see a beer can turkey next!
Looks very good, really good idea with what to do with the wings putting him in a full nelson. I like to use Redds Apple Ale and cherry wood. Love the videos.
I prefer using the Sittin' Chicken ceramic chicken steamer instead of an actual can. Also, I use olive oil as that gives a better taste to the skin, in my opinion. Going to taste good either way!
Use a pie tin under your rack with injections juice and onion, it will help self baste, and ALWAYS put a quarter cut onion in the neck to keep steam from evaporating, BUT MOST OF ALL pre heat the rack with the beer, by the time the beer gets to steam level your bird is half way or more done, by the way your quarter looked undercooked
Really nice job 👍. BTW, I usually plug the neck with a carrot or onion. I noticed that your leg joints, like mine, still is too bloody, so I stick them under my oven broiler for just a few minutes.
Incredible video man! your bacon curing video is also very incredible! I've watched that more times than I can count! Also the bacon cure is so on point! I've made the recipe twice! I'm gonna try your version of beer can chicken this week at camp! Very big fan of how to BBQ right! keep it real homie!
Keep up the Great Videos Malcom I have learned a lot from your videos I want to start doing some Competitions but don't have a competition smoker yet but saving up for one. When I start I hope to see you at a competition one day.
Rick Lollie I know some guys that cook contests with a couple Drum Smokers. One of the top10 teams in the country last year cooked everything on 2 Weber Smokey Mountains.
I can't even begin to tell you how much of a difference you've made in my bbq.

You are my bbq reference manual I swear. Thank you for the knowledge Malcom
I like that u explain things in detail
Killer Hogs on the Thanksgiving turkey was absolutely amazing. Best bird ever. Smoked with Apple Pellets.
You are my favorite for learning recipes for my new smoker! I’ve cooked three of your recipes in two weeks now! Thanks for sharing!

I did this recipe today I'm my masterbuilt smoker. Wow it came out spectacular. The skin was perfect and Smokey.

Pellet grill is worth it?
I made my chicken a different way but I still followed your cooking instructions and dam it came out juice. Thanks for what you.
Great video!. I am a little bummed that this video was so far down on the recommend, maybe because of the age, but this is far better that all of the videos I have watched.
Looks great! My family loves beer can chicken. I have the same beer stand and don't even use a beer can anymore.
great recipe.. did it with "bone suckin sauce" for the seasoning and it came out great.. did another one with "slap ya mama" cajun seasoning and it came out amazing too.. did them in a vertical smoker with a pan of beer and crab boil right over the coals and under the chicken... Amazing!!
Sir. Thank you. my Chicken was a HUGE hit this 4th of July. I followed your recipe 100% and it was amazing
Many thanks for this. I bought my first smoker and did this recipe today as my first on it. Unbelievably good.
Broke in my new electric smoker this weekend with this. Came out awesome!
I wondering why the hell anybody would give this a thumbs down?I mean I have made this several times and it’s delicious.The guy takes time out of his day to show some of us rookies how to cook and he gets thumbs down.Just keep doing what your doing Malcom.Im enjoying your videos.
The one glove thing.....BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!
very good tech using that kind of spraybottle for our enviorment!
Really healthy for nature.

Would love to see an updated video on this recipe to see if you would change anything. I’m trying this on Saturday!
Malcolm, you have quickly made me a pretty darn good cook. Great video as usual. Thank you
You've saved my life with your home cooking. Not to be light hearted. My family finally accepts me when I cook your food. Let's link up to save more lives!
That's great man! :)
Of course he puts seasoning in the beer! Thanks for your channel, you're an inspiration.
Fantastic video. I tried this and it worked great. Use a tall boy, drink half and then fill the other half with BBQ sauce. Use it a as a dipping sauce. Better than good.
Malcom,that chicken looked amazing,just went out ,got a chicken,found my injector, going to unsweetened apple juice and throw some rosemary into the beer can.Thanks for the info,I’ll let you know how it went🇨🇦👍🇺🇸
Awesome again. Thanks for bringing the competition circuit to regular guys.
Mr. Reed, I made your smoked brisket for xmas. Wow, it was so good, the whole family loved it. Now ive been watching all your videos. Beer chicken for Super Bowl Sunday. Yes I live in Denver. Thanks for what you do!
I really love your videos you put up on TH-cam are my go to guy for cooking things on my pellet grill smoker Joel Pritchard From burlingtion Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
I use warm beer and add 2 drops of liquid smoke in the can, you get a great smoky flavor! Love your videos
I use a can opener and open the whole can of beer then i use a potato to plug the neck of the chicken & it makes the chicken stay moist.
I really like how you break down how to really smoke. I love your videos! Keep up the good work!!!
It doesn’t get much better than this. You da man Malcom!
Hey Malcom, just about a few weeks ago I tried a chicken like this and the next day just to compare, I did one with lemon pepper seasoning and some lemon zest and in place of the beer, a can of lemonade. It was surprisingly good, if you haven't done that before I would really recommend it.
dumhekk thanks, might have to try that.
Love watching your videos. Good job of keeping it simple but giving some good tips that an average person may not think of.
Malcolm, you're the goto guy for smoking around here. I"m not a huge chicken fan but this is an amazing bird. Cherry and Bud Light was definitely the way to go. Thanks man.
Good lord Mr. Malcolm, as I watch this, it's 10:23 pm at my house, and I am now craving some beer can chicken. You are the MAN! Love your videos!
First time I've seen this done in a smoker. We've done quite a few on the Q but now we will do one in the smoker. Looks great and I am sure it will be. I will be back with the results we get on our vertical gas smoker.
Thank you so much for all your videos. After multiple failures a Vegan can finally entertain in Texas! Xo all the best
Awesome video Malcom. I can watch you, JB and T-Roy videos all day long. Keep it up.
Just did this today and turned out great! Most tender chicken I've ever had 🐔🍻
I've done this with beer and also soda it turns out good either way especially if you don't drink beer then soda is a awesome substitute for the beer.
Just bought my first smoker today - WSM. Checked out many of your vids and sir I like your style. Looking forward to my days off to try your rib and now chicken recipes. You keep it simple and explain the process well. Keep it up - we're watching.
Sanyam
I
Looks fantastic, I love the crispy skin! I usually spray my beer can with cooking oil to avoid the chicken getting stuck in the end. Try this next time and I'm sure you will be happy with then result.
The chicken appreciates your efforts with lubing him up😅
Im gonna do my first Beer Can Chicken this next weekend. Thanks so much for these videos, they are very helpful!
Would also like to see your killer recipe on SMOKED MAC & CHEESE for the masses. Love your Videos
Love your recipes, thank you for sharing! I use them all the time. What is great is beer can turkey as well.
Find small bird, follow your exact same recipe, except substitute the chicken broth injection with turkey broth. It's fantastic too!
I love watching and learning from your videos. Thank you!
Thanks Malcolm. Did this tonight. If it weren't for my digital thermometer crapping out near the end of my cook all would have been perfect. Going to try your meatloaf later this week. Keep up the great videos, you're awesome.
Great video. Love your enthusiasm for the subject. I’ll be trying this one!!
Hey Malcom, your recipe works great with Cornish Game Hen and Turkey too. Key to turkey is find a small bird about 8lbs.
Your AMAZING dude I truly enjoy watching your videos to see your passion for cooking reflect in your videos is awesome you got such a awesome spirit as well God Bless you brother!!!
I watched 9 Different videos of yours today.....Now I think I need to go on a diet before I start bbq'n some of your recipes. Great Job Brother.
It's what's for dinner tonight! Thanks for all of your videos. Your channel has become our go to source for grilling and smoking. We've done everything from briskets to standing rib roasts to turkey on our kamado style ceramic cooker. Bottom line? If we are doing something new on the smoker then we search your channel for how to do it right!
Thanks for your expertise. Looks awesome and probably tastes even better! I appreciate your help.
Malcom, I swear I'm getting a pellet smoker thanks to your channel. The Yoder looks to be the boss. It may be a Traeger though, cause that's what they got in my town.
Its fun watching a pro at work. Thank you.
You're my hero. I made your other basic smoked chicken last night and it was amazing
Olive oil and mustard rub makes a good crispy skin.
I like the way this dude explains stuff. Subscribing.
My go to for grilling videos. God bless.
To open the can up just use a can opener. Going to try this later today. Thanks
Malcom, great post. You can't match the beer can method for smoking whole chickens, however, I soon realized that the beer, really doesn't add anything to the chicken. I use a vertical roaster on top of a tin pie plate. Works great. I'd like to see a beer can turkey next!
Rod Stevens good tip. That almost was a beer can turkey as big as it was.
Love your channel bro you know what your doing
Malcom, thanks again for the insightful video, you have a real talent and are an excellent teacher!
It taste awesome and I use soda too. Even gives a better flavor
Great cook Malcom, everyone needs to do a beer can chicken at least once.
Nice tip on using the cooking spray during the cook, never saw that before.
White wine in a spray bottle also makes a good moisturizer during cooking
you're a pro chef bro! simple explanation too
I always enjoy your videos, Malcom. We're doing a beer can chicken today!!!
The BBQ go to guy on TH-cam! 👌👍
I’m going to try the beer can chicken this week! Enjoy watching your cooking shows!!
I was considering adding the left over injection fluid to the beer can, good or bad idea ?
I use Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy (it’s lemon/citrus beer) for my beer can chicken. It goes very well with chicken- just say’n
Looks very good, really good idea with what to do with the wings putting him in a full nelson. I like to use Redds Apple Ale and cherry wood. Love the videos.
Delish! So versatile! I bet its even better the next day!
CareyP1972 yeah, we made smoked chicken salad with the leftovers.
I prefer using the Sittin' Chicken ceramic chicken steamer instead of an actual can. Also, I use olive oil as that gives a better taste to the skin, in my opinion. Going to taste good either way!
Thank you for your recap at the end. It is much appreciated.
I put hot sauce in my beer. Instead of the spray I use soya sauce to stick my rub. Nice and salty
Love your youtube channel Malcom, you are the man!
Use a pie tin under your rack with injections juice and onion, it will help self baste, and ALWAYS put a quarter cut onion in the neck to keep steam from evaporating, BUT MOST OF ALL pre heat the rack with the beer, by the time the beer gets to steam level your bird is half way or more done, by the way your quarter looked undercooked
Really nice job 👍. BTW, I usually plug the neck with a carrot or onion. I noticed that your leg joints, like mine, still is too bloody, so I stick them under my oven broiler for just a few minutes.
U can use a can opener to take the top off the beer can
You make everything so easy and looks so good. I did try your rib recipe and the came out great.
I cant wait to try the beer can chicken.
Great video. I will try this tonight.
Incredible video man! your bacon curing video is also very incredible! I've watched that more times than I can count! Also the bacon cure is so on point! I've made the recipe twice! I'm gonna try your version of beer can chicken this week at camp! Very big fan of how to BBQ right! keep it real homie!
Keep up the Great Videos Malcom I have learned a lot from your videos I want to start doing some Competitions but don't have a competition smoker yet but saving up for one. When I start I hope to see you at a competition one day.
Rick Lollie I know some guys that cook contests with a couple Drum Smokers. One of the top10 teams in the country last year cooked everything on 2 Weber Smokey Mountains.
Awesome video! Grilling my chicken right now, can't wait!
Thank you for making this video!
excellent detailed info...Thanks Malcom!!! truly a master cook!
Never thought to inject chicken, but makes sense. Does the injection make a noticeable difference if already using the can?
Try sticking a small potato in his neck,helps keep the moisture in.
I use two small cuts of celery ..it pairs really well with yard pimp ..aka chicken ..
Great video! Thanks for posting this. I learned a lot.
