I did not trust marinating chicken with lemon and herbs for kabobs at first.

Introduction I burned the skin on my chicken wings three times before finally figuring out how to get that perfect crispy crust without turning them into charcoal.

The moment the honey bourbon BBQ sauce caramelized just right, with a sneaky spicy kick that sneaks up on you, I knew I had stumbled onto something worth sticking with.

“You just shove a beer can in the chicken and it comes out perfect every time.” — and that was it. I remember my buddy’s half-joking, half-serious line at our last backyard cookout. Honestly, I hadn’t given beer can chicken much thought before that moment, but the way he described it—like some kind of magic trick—stuck.

That first crackling bite of the crispy skin, sticky with a honey mustard glaze that balanced sweet and tangy, made me … Read more
