Beer Can Chicken

Saturday, February 14, 2009

 

Beer Can Chicken Made In The Oven

The two tricky parts here are getting the chicken on the can. And getting the chicken off the can after its cooked. I don’t drink alot of beer so I bought one big can from the supermarket and it was a little challenging to get the chicken over the can at first. This is one of those times in cooking where you just cant be afraid to get your hands dirty. I think though if I used a smaller can that was not as wide it would have been alot easier.

Getting the chicken off the can after its cooked is  tricky too. Be Careful of the can because it is very hot and the beer on the inside is also very, very hot. I let mine cool down for about 5-10 minutes before i tried to pull it of. You’ll find it easiest to hold the can in one hand and pull the chicken off with the other. If you want to go the extra mile and make it really delicious you can brush some of that juice all over the skin before you serve it. 

The eating part…Mmmm. For my first time it came out pretty good. The legs, wings and thighs were extremely juicy. The breast meat wasn’t quite as juicy as the other parts but still really good. I would make  this again just using a bit more seasoning on the bigger parts of meat like the breast.

 

Have you tried making Beer Can Chicken? Let us know how it went.
