Beer Can Chicken

[Novaslo]

Wow,
This was too dang easy and too darn good.

Ok take one chicken..
Olive Oil and seasoning- Old Bay or your favorite kind.
Season it up.

Take the can of 24 oz beer....in my case PBR simply because that is all they had.
Put in the can, Seasoning and a cube of butter, Garlic and a Habanero.

Put the Chicken on top of the beer can and put that in a Cast Iron pan.

Cook at 350-400 in your wood oven for 1.5 to 2 hours.
I had a 6lb chicken, so he was a big baby bird. lol.

Wow was it fantastic....after it is cooked, pull the bird and then put a few good shakes/pours of Worsteshire sauce....let that cook while the bird rests.

The juice with the pull apart chicken is pretty darn epic. Enjoy.

Looks great! I have a beer can chicken in the oven right now, fire about 300 after pizza yesterday afternoon. Will be great for dinner tonight and leftovers later in the week! Our beer was Budweiser, purchased exclusively for making this chicken as we don't usually drink beer.

Down here, Budweiser, is the choice beer for beer can chicken. But, it is customary to drink half the contents . That leaves room for some onion, garlic, and some other aromatic herbs .

Check, this out for Native American Roasted Turkey. I will try this one day!

G'day gulf
That's the universal rule for cooking with wine as well, if you wouldn't drink it don't cook with it.

To be honest, beer can chicken works just fine with only water and aromanatics in the can. I hope my redneck friends don't read this .

Re: Beer Can Chicken

Sadly the YouTube uploader does not make that video available in Australia. No trouble getting the garbage though!

Try Chuck's Eat Street,on the Aussie Youtube. Maybe,(with some key words) it will provide a link that you can see. It is a cool video .

Re: Beer Can Chicken

G'day
How big a tangine have you got? Mine must be pretty small I can only cook pieces in it and it just fits in the oven

That video was awesome, I would love to give that a try. My limited understanding is that terra cotta is the material that will hold up to the high temps created in a WFO. In the video it mentioned the oven temp at 550*F, I'm wondering if there's something else that I could easily get my hands on in place of the terra cotta to hold the turkey in that position? Or maybe just make something out of steel?

I did a quick search on Amazon and I found similar device for turkeys, prices appear to be around $17-$25 USD
