Beer-Brined Spatchcock Chicken Cooked In Pellet Grill

Ingredients
  

  • 1 whole chicken (3-5 pounds)
  • 2 tbsp kosher salt
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 can beer of your choice (12 oz)
  • water
  • 2-3 tbsp olive oil
  • dry rub seasoning of your choice

Instructions
 

  • First, google how to spatchcock a chicken. Follow instructions. Place the spatchcocked chicken in a pan enough to cover water and brine.
  • In a bowl, whisk together salt, sugar, and beer.
  • Pour the brine over the chicken and then pour water to cover the whole thing. Wrap the pan with saran wrap tightly. Carefully transfer into the fridge to marinate for 3-4 hours or overnight.
  • Prepare your pellet grill accordingly.
  • Take the chicken out from the brine solution and pat dry with paper towels. Rub both sides of chicken with the dry-rub seasoning of your choice.
  • Once the pellet grill is ready, place the chicken in the grill to cook. Follow heating and cooking instructions from your grill's pamphlet.
