Beer can chicken... beer can chicken...

[Zomby Woof]

Beer can chicken tonight! :bounce:

Using one of these babies in my Weber kettle, with lump charcoal:

[cwydro]

1. now, I have heard of this

but never known a soul who has tried it...this HAS to be a joke. I'm always falling for your jokes.x(

[matcom]

4. no joke. i make it too

WONDERFUL

[Zomby Woof]

8. As matcom said

It's very real, and very GOOD.

You fill the cylinder with beer, and either bake in the oven, or on a covered grill. :bounce:

No corn flakes, and no boiling! :D

[cwydro]

11. OK,

It was the cornflake and boiling posts that made me so suspicious...:evilfrown:

[Zomby Woof]

12. Search for some recipes!

:9 You will find all kinds of great ways to use that device in my OP!

[cwydro]

13. OK, now I am laughing my ass off

because I just went somewhere with that...well, wasn't in a recipe is all I can say.:evilgrin:

No, seriously, I know it is a real dish that people make. Hear about it a lot down here, where folks like to include beer in any activity if at all possible.B-)

[Zomby Woof]

14. Well

I have stepped on toes today, and am very cautious about doing it again. :D

[GOPisEvil]

2. Coat it with corn flakes first, dammit!

:bounce:

6. He-he!

3. Zombywoof ( hi ya!) I'm so behind the times.

What is that contraption?

I've never seen one, before.

:shrug:

[matcom]

5. you're gonna BOIL it first right?

RIGHT? :D

[cwydro]

7. I'm thinking this is a joke

ZW always gettin' one over on me...

9. My best friend makes the beer can chicken and it is yummy! n/t

[Zomby Woof]

10. A belated DU welcome!

:toast:

[cwydro]

15. Yes!

[QMPMom]

19. Thanks!

[QMPMom]

18. Thanks!

I've read for a long time but got involved a few weeks ago.

[pitohui]

16. do you need house pests?

nothing like a good beer can chicken, sigh of jealousy

[Zomby Woof]

17. As if the cat begging isn't enough!

;-) Just kidding.

20. AKA Beer Butt Chicken

Either way, delicious!

[Zomby Woof]

21. That's poetic

I like it!

[evlbstrd]

24. I can't take credit for it.

I heard it on "Barbecue America." I make it in my smoker, and my daughter, who won't eat chicken with bones (WTF?), will eat that.

22. Any recipe where the 1st step is "open and drink 1/2 can of beer

...gets my attention. I put lots of chicken seasoning/rub under the skin. Tender and juicy every time.

[Zomby Woof]

23. Truer words never spoken!

Welcome to DU! :toast:

25. AKA cremated chicken, in my house.

Mine always ends up this way. But my friends have wonderful luck with it, so I just invite myself to their house.:9

26. I make Rhine Wine Chicken with my pottery "beer can chicken"

dish.

I have a beautiful glazed stoneware version of this contraption. It is all molded in one piece, with the tube coming up from the center. Pour the aromatic liquid of your choice into the tube, impale the chicken's butt on the tube and plug up the chicken's neck with a wad of aluminum foil. The juices etc drain into the large bowl that surrounds the can shaped tube, and has a pouring lip. It is just wonderful and makes a great chicken.
