Roasting Pans & Chicken Roasters
After countless cookouts, you’ve finally mastered the most popular grilled meats. You can set your watch to searing steaks, churn out burgers blindfolded, and hot dogs — well, that’s just child’s play at this point. You’re the cookout king, the ruler of ribeyes, happily seated on your throne that may or may not just be a lawn chair with a cup holder. Then you realize that your days of culinary conquests are far from over, and you set your sights on the next big thing: whole chicken.
To make your task easier, consider investing in a chicken roaster. These grill roasting pans and racks give your bird more stability while cooking to mouthwatering perfection in your grill, and they make transporting it to the cutting board much easier once your coals or gas burners have done their job. Some let you roast veggies alongside the chicken, making for a whole meal in a single accessory. And before you ask, yes — we’ve got beer can chicken roasters for that flavorful BBQ dish that gets us tipsy on taste alone.
Most of our chicken roasters are dishwasher-safe, so cleanup can be far less messy than your fingers after a few minutes with a brilliantly barbecued bird. Yet you can still harness the power of awesome cooking materials like ceramic, cast iron, and stainless steel, all in a variety of sizes to fit a variety of poultry. A handful of our grill roasting pans can even go in your indoor oven, but why would you do that when you have a perfectly good grill to cook on?
Beer Can Chicken Roasters
If you’ve had BBQ chicken more than a few times in your life, you’ve probably encountered at least one bird that came out on the dry side. One of our favorite solutions to this widespread problem is beer can chicken, which is believed to have originated in our home state of Louisiana (we’re not sure who had the bright idea to sit a whole chicken on a beer can, but we thank them from the bottom of our hearts). This cooking technique bastes chicken from the inside, ensuring that it’s filled with moisture and an interesting flavor profile that only beer can provide.
Beer can chicken roasters refine this concept, giving you both a receptacle for your beer can (or another liquid) and a firm base for your whole chicken. Some brands refer to this as a “chicken throne,” and we can’t blame them for treating such a delicious dish like royalty. Just don’t get jealous — we all know you’re still the cookout king.
