1. Budwiser is the best for baking.
2. My brother is a chef and swears by using Budweiser! :)
3. We tend to be beer snobs, but when it comes to beer can chicken, we use either good ol' Budweiser or Pabst Blue Ribbon. ;) Mmm...as long as the rub on your chicken is good, your final product will be moist and oh-so-tasty!
4. Foster's. It's the perfect size for sticking up a chicken's butt!! Oh, and the flavor is great, too. ;)
5. miller but u dont have to use beer. put pineapple juice and some spice in the can instead its vey good
6. corona babi!!!
7. what ever you drink, or think doesn't smell bad, really, all beer has a diff. oder, do you like strong or mild....my pick is bud
8. I have used numerous beers during cooking, and each has a distinct flavor. For chicken, I would use something domestic like Budweiser or Miller Lite.
9. It is not the beer that is important, it's the fact that you have a liquid simmering inside your chicken that makes it moist and juicey. I have even heard that you may use a Coke can, or even an empty can with some juice added in. Just remember to leave about a quarter inch empty on top (to prevent boiling over) and always add a few spoons of the rub inside the can for extra flavor. Good Luck!
10. I think a light beer is the way to go here. Less calories too! Try Miller Light!
11. GUINESS IS EXCELLENT IF YOU CAN FIND THE CANS
