Low & Slow - BBQ Beer Can Chicken with Kansas spices

Ingredients:

1 x Smokin South Kansas seasoning

1 x 1.6-1.8kg free range chicken

Extra virgin olive oil

1 x Can Beer (your choice)

Method:

Start up your Traeger (see tips) or smoker and set to 350F/175C. Pre-heat for 10 minutes.
Lightly oil the outside of the chicken then sprinkle with season - inside and all over the outside.
Crack open your beer and remove ⅓ (for yourself or a guest), then place the chook over the can and place into the Traeger and cook for 60 – 80 minutes or until the internal temperature using a probe is 165F/75C.
Let rest for 15 minutes then chop up, season with salt and Enjoy.

Tips & Hints:

A Traeger is a pellet smoker that uses compressed hardwood pellets to cook food with steady heat and a subtle smoky flavour. If you don’t have one, a standard BBQ with a lid or any smoker set up for indirect heat will work just as well.
