Beer Cola-Can Chicken

Oh, one other thing. I have a traditional Weber charcoal grill with the dome lid and we cooked two 3-4 lb. chickens at one time with room to spare. The bricks in the bottom unintentionally sped up the cooking time (I had put them in the bottom of my grill to keep the charcoal pushed to either side of the grill), but that was great and the chickens turned out very juicy. We gave one to a friend who said it was the best chicken she had ever had. I hope this helps the person up there who has a Weber grill. I love mine and I will never go back to gas. Hated that.

This was super delicious and has got me buying whole chickens again. Instead of the drip pan I put bricks in the middle of my weber charcoal grill (I have a gas grill too, but never used it) with the charcoal on either side. We made 3 chickens last Saturday on Pepsi cans. They took just over an hour over the bricks. Indirect heat cooking on my grill has revolutionized along with the chimney has revolutionized my outdoor cooking. We live inland California and it is way too hot to use my kitchen starting in about May. With indirect heat I have even cooked Silver Palate's Chicken Marbella in a glass dish along with some steamed broccoli and my house stays cool!

I grew up in Canada and my dad drank beer mixed with tomato juice. I guess that's the veggie version of a mimosa.

My dad makes the most amazing preserved vegetables. My grandmother taught him and its a family secret. He won't even tell my mom and my mom has to BEG him to make it. He keeps it in a jar for a few days for the best flavor, but my sister and I would sneak bites that by the time it's supposed to be ready, it's half eaten. It has chinese cabbages, cucumbers, baby onions, and carrots. It sweet, crunchy, sour, spicy (like kimchi! but not red), and salty. The mouth is confused at first, but the stomach is always happy. (I miss my dad!).

HI, HERE IN LOUISIANA WE HAVE BEEN DOING BEER CAN CHCKEN FOR YEARS..WE USUALLY PUT WATER IN AN EMPTY CAN WITH ONIONS, PEPPERS, A LITTLE LIQUID FLAVORING OF YOUR CHOICE SUCH AS BBQ SAUCE, LIQUID SMOKE , SOY SAUCE, HOT SAUCE ETC. WE THEN SEASON THE CHICKEN ALL OVER WITH JUST ABOUT ANYTHING YOU CAN IMAGINE, BUT ALWAYS WITH ONION & GARLIC POWDER, SALT AND RED PEPPER. WE HAVE EVEN INJECTED THE CHICKEN. THERE ARE SO MANY WAYS SO JUST THINK UP YOUR OWN WAY AND IT WILL COME OUT GREAT. IF DOING IT IN THE OVEN PUT THE CHICKEN IN A PAN WITH ABOUT AN INCH OF WATER IN IT AND IT WILL ALSO HOLD THE MOISTURE BUT YET HAVE A CRUNCHY OUTER SKIN. YUM >>>ENJOY

It is sorta strange, but IBC rootbeer always reminds me of my dad. As a treat to us kids, once in a while he would stop at the grocery store after work and buy IBC root beer and Vanilla ice cream as a treat for us kids (root beer floats)
