Can soda can chicken be better than beer can chicken? I’ve always said that beer can chicken is a BBQ classic. People love to make it and it’s so fun. It’s a great way to cook a bird to get succulent and juicy chicken. Every time I make it and post it on social media, my friend Jonathan Fox from Fox Bros Bar-B-Q in Georgia tells me to “save the beer and make it with a Dr. Pepper instead.” He has always told me he loves the sweet and nutty flavor that it delivers plus you save the beer to drink!
Dr. Pepper is such an iconic part of Texas history considering it was born in Waco, TX. In this recipe we make Dr. Pepper Chicken with a pure cane sugar Dr. Pepper (Wal-Mart), so no high fructose corn syrup. We also make a very delicious Dr. Pepper BBQ sauce to glaze the chicken with near the end.

😋Yum Yum delicious looking BBQ chicken🍗 . Thanks for sharing 😊. Your Dr. Pepper barbecue sauce recipe ✍️ . My Aunt made a Coke barbecue sauce 😁 . It was so delicious 😋. Have A Great Evening 🌌.
Where do I get that stand at.
Ran across Italian sausage cooking method where you precook (on grill or off) in Apple Cider vinegar, brown sugar, bell peppers and Red onions in aluminum pan. Once sausage and peppers finished, grill sausage. Once grilled, put the sausage back into the juices of the pan for the moist and flavorful Italian sausage sandwich with peppers and onions… red sauce/mozzarella is optional topper
My husband and I smoked an approximately 5lb Dr Pepper chicken last night. It was absolutely delicious! Definitely a great alternative to beer can chicken! Will definitely be making again!
Either one is a scam. Liquid doesn't get hot enough to do sht
Mtn Dew chicken is my thing i like it so much better than beer can chicken. Lemon Pepper rub on the crisp skin is a great part of the meal…
Plug the neck with a tater or onion to keep the moisture in, big difference.
Was there any liquid left in the chicken stand? I feel like a person could make a sauce with that.
Did anybody notice at the start of the video that chicken looked like a face
Just found your channel…awesome vids…question…what are those grilling gloves you use in this video??
Anybody else see the face in the bucket at the beginning of the video? The sauce is great!
Save Bud Light. Everyone is over reacting. there trying to make more money. The same way we are. So what if this guy is confused. I'm definitely not talking about meat church. He's on time. Now Joe Biden is not on time. You're upset about budlight and their decisions. And what are you doing about Joe Biden. And his decisions. When he sent out those paper checks. They didn't come with any vaseline. But he's sticking it to you.
is the intro vid shot in Brady, Texas?
I am a dr pepper aholic so im definitely making this!
Truth told your Buddy is wrong ,I use the beer in the cavity and then use the Dr.Pepper after I cook it down into a bbq sauce and baste the chicken with it use both folks .
The old sugar cane sodas were much smoother than today's fructose corn syrup sodas. I still believe that "New Coke" was simply a diversion to allow us to forget what the real Coke tasted like. Still, when I want a Coke, it's Mexican Coke for me! LOL, walking into some stores and asking, "You have Mexican Coke?"
Do chicken fry
How long is the sauce good for in the fridge??
I’d like to see an Apple Pie.
Definitely did not know that dr. Pepper was a Texan thing been drinking it for years and in my opinion is the best soda in the market !
2nd time i made this sauce.. i added molasses to it.. i think its better than without molasses
Dr Pepper with real sugar is not available anymore but Pepsi has a version of soda with real sugar. Can this be used?
Has anyone tried any other soda since DrPepper with real sugar is no longer available?
How about a video on smoking yo a Turkey, lobster tails, or even something like a wed roast, French dip, or a Philly steak sandwich.
I found your channel yesterday and realized that so long as I continue to be a man who's never owned a smoker it would be too painful to watch your content, so today I got materials and tomorrow I'm going to start building me a smoker. I think I may binge your continent a bit. 😁
Very interesting story! Thanks again Matt. Its a shame what $$ does to people..
Would this recipe work for a spatchcock chicken?
I do a ham with ginger snaps and dr. Pepper, comes out amazing.
We need a smoked Cornish hen video!
Could I cook this and serve it the next night? Keep it in a warmer or refrigerate it? Would it still be good?
Any advantage to putting something in the neck hole to keep the moisture in the chicken?
Love the product!
