Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat gas or charcoal grill for indirect grilling. Rub chickens with oil. Sprinkle seasoned salt over each chicken and inside cavities.

2. Discard 1/4 of beer in each can, leaving remaining 3/4 in each can. Place 2 garlic cloves in each can. Place each chicken over top of beer can by holding chicken up and pressing can into cavity. Place 1 quarter of orange in top of cavity of each chicken. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer in each chicken so tip of thermometer is in thickest part of inside thigh muscle and does not touch bone.

3. Balance chickens on beer can: place on grill over indirect medium heat. Cover grill: cook about 1 hour 30 minutes or until thermometers read at least 165 F and legs move easily when lifted or twisted.

4. Place orange halves and remaining quarters, flesh side down, directly on grill: cover and cook 3 to 5 minutes.

5. Remove chickens and oranges from grill: let chickens rest on beer cans 10 to 15 minutes before attempting to remove cans and carve chickens. Before serving, squeeze 2 of the orange halves over tops of chicken; serve other oranges on the side.
