The brined chicken, a can of beer, and the leather gloves that I use for handling hot stuff (now replaced with welder's gloves).

I used Rainier Beer in my first (disastrous) attempt at beer can chicken. Maybe Tecate will help?

The bird impaled on the beer can, ready to cook.

Sitting pretty, just prior to application of the baste.

After basting, and ready to remove from the grill to rest.

Carved and ready to eat. It's messy, but hey, it's BBQ! Have lots of napkins ready.
