Beer can chicken

[Tom-ADC]

Just put a 5.8 pound chicken in the oven its standing on a can of beer, can has rosemary, thyme, & marjoram in it. Skin basted in melted butter & sprinkled with paprika.
One of our favorite ways to make chicken, it was to tall to stand in the grill.

I cooked corn on the cob last week in the microwave about 7 minutes for 2 ears, I then did what this youtube video did, corn was good and it really worked. BTW told this works for grilled corn also.

10-4, I would like to make a bigger rack for the oil can like the ones I have for a regular size can.

I haven't made beer can chicken in a while, I am so busy. I have been opting out for the Wal-Mart rotisserie chickens, I always try to get one that has come out of the roaster within and hour and a half or less. They are delicous, a good value (Great Value, eh?), and you can do alot of different things with the meat. Chicken salad, BBQ sandwiches.

I make a pretty mean copy of the Wendy's Asian Chicken Salad, my daughter says so...:roll:

Another thing I miss is deep fried turkey for Thanksgiving. I haven't done one in 3 or for years, and they are SO good.........:violin:

My son makes this often. He always adds about 3 cloves of garlic and always a half can of beer.

Either this or under bricks on the grill are my favorite ways.

Haven't tried the herbs in the can, though. have to try that.

Use rosemary with that chicken. You will do it again and again! I garontee it as Justin Wilson usta say.

I love beer can chicken! I did these on the smoker for 4.5-5 hrs with mesquite wood. I injected them with jalapeno butter marinade and rubbed a mesquite seasoning on the outside...mmmmm!

[Tom-ADC]

For those that what to try this the 1st time a hint is to spray Pam on the beer can it will make things easier later.
AZ-Jim those look great. I couldn't stand these up in the smoker to tall for the lid.

I add some liquid smoke to the beer as well.

A pineapple juice can under a Cornish game hen is good also. Empty 1/2 of it out.

Does your son put the garlic cloves in the beer?

it is too bad BeerCanChicken cooks them upside down.

chicken is so much better cooked breast down... Same with turkey.

I always cook my turkey breast down, and turn it up for only the last 1/2 hour if I want to brown the skin... usually, I peel the skin off and toss it.
it does make a difference
