Wait a minute..I think we need to all back up and re-read Barbara's post "Never did a beer can chicken."
WWhhaaaatt??
That's like an american staple now. Although now they have special "cans" so you don't have to actually use a real beer can. Which brings me to my story..nice segway huh?
So making a beer can chicken and grabbed one of my dads Budlights (ick I know but it was all I had). I cut the top off and emptied a bit out to fit the herbs in. (horrifying my father that I would waste his 'good' beer in this manner)
Got the can on the grill put chicken over can and lit her up. So somethings to learn -
1 Beer will boil
2 Beer will foam a LOT when it boils
3 Back yard smelled like a dead brewery due the all the beer leaking out the bottom of my bbq.
4 Leaking beer will result in putting your flames out
5 You won't know your flames are out as you trying to hose down spilled beer
6 You will soon find out your flames are out because your husband gets that "you smell gas" look on his face.
7 Boiled beer bottom chicken not so pleasant.
8 And most important..when you close your lid remove that little warming rack first...cause you open the lid in a panic to vent the gas that's been pooling the wings will get caught and your boiled beer bottom chicken well catch air as it sails across the patio.
