Also known as chicken thrones, vertical chicken roasters, beer butt chicken holders, poultry roasters, beer can chicken racks, etc.

Some roasters are not made to hold liquid; it's important to get one that is.

They will be made either to hold the liquid itself or as a receptacle to hold the liquid; usually beer.

There are many makes and designs, a few recommended roasters are shown below.

Beer can chicken racks designed to hold the can do just that. Open the can and empty about a third to half the can. Punch an additional two or three holes in to the top of the can and then insert it in to the beer can rack.

Some people don't like the idea of cooking on a painted aluminium can and so buy a rack that allows you to pour the beer in to a receptacle and discard the can.

Most vertical chicken roasters are safe to use in an indoor oven.

Here are some chicken roaster recipes for beer can chicken.

Bayou Classic 0880-PDQ Stainless-Steel Beercan ChickCAN Rack

This stainless-steel chicken roaster from Bayou Classic lets you cook a chicken via the beer can method with less worry about the hot can spilling or getting knocked over.

A 12-ounce can of beer or soda fits securely in the stand's center (which protrudes into the bird's cavity), while the circular wire base spans a wire grill more securely than individual "feet" and supports a chicken up to four pounds in weight.

The chicken can be cooked on this rack in a variety of ways: on a charcoal grill, gas grill, or inside an oven.

Reusable and dishwasher-safe, the ChickCan rack measures seven inches in diameter and five inches high, and makes a novel gift for the outdoor chef.

Steven Raichlen Best of Barbecue SR8016 Stainless-Steel Beer-Can Chicken Rack with Drip Pan

Durably built from stainless steel, this innovative rack and drip pan make beer-can chicken practically fool-proof.

The unit's square design ensures stability, so there's no need to worry about the bird tipping over or the beer spilling.

Its metal rack will hold either a beer can or the included stainless-steel canister, which can be filled with something other than beer, like wine or fruit juice.

Simply clean the bird and place it over the beer can or canister, legs down, so it stands upright like a tri-pod for cooking.

The metal pan collects meat juices for making gravy, plus it prevents the fat drippings from creating flare-ups.

For added convenience, two loop side handles offer easy transport and all the pieces can go in the dishwasher for quick cleanup.

The beer-can chicken rack with drip pan measures 9-3/5 by 7-2/7 by 5-1/2 inches.
