Beer Can Chicken
The Rub
Ted Reader's Bone Dust Rub with 13 spices. Doesn't the Colonel only have 11? :)
The Grub
The Tub
I bought a selection but finally decided to go with the Sleeman's Honey Brown Lager. I took a big sip and added a shot of Jack Daniel's.
On the Launch Pad
I didn't even think of taking a picture of the finished product! Do you believe it? I think it was because I wasn't sure how to get the thing off the grill. It was a 3lb bird and took about 50 minutes to cook. There was lots of liquid left in the can (used a Tall Boy). It tasted gooood ...

Either that's a very tiny chicken or your new BBQ is very big...
AND he looks like he was doing a happy dance until he got flamed from behind!
That looks absolutely succulent!!!!! Is that what we're having????
It was a small bird but that's all they had at the store! And it was tender and moist. I always dry out birds. But I don't know what we're having yet, Carmen! We're still in the experimental stage.
I'd like to try out the rotisserie, actually, Carmen, as a comparison to the sitting-on-the-can technique. There's an infrared burner in the back that's supposed to crisp it all up. Mmmm. I think any liquid will do, btw, and next time I go with the can, I'm using root beer instead of wasting the REAL beer! We don't need no drunkin' chickens round here!
It's a medium-large sized BBQ, Skylark, with 4 burners. If I did it again, I'd go for the 3-burner model ... maybe ... :)
Oh yes, please do! We love to be part of the experimentation process!! Julia and I will be talking sewing and you and Jerome can be fine-tuning the Q!
hum, poulet au grain "entire"...interesting concept.... who translates this stuff???? Hire me, hire me!!
At this point, Carmen, it feels like everything is an experiment since the the way the new Q grills has little resemblance to the way the old 'reliable' did it. One burner was so far gone, I had this huge yellow flame shooting out on the left side and it looked like I was cooking on a camp fire! The new one has nice small blue flames I can't see clearly and I'm always peering in to make sure it's lit.
As for who does the translation, I know it's not Google. How close are they to "Grain fed whole chicken" with, "Nourris au grain poulet entier"? :)
Gotta love beer can chicken ! Tried it before and now you've given me an idea for this evenings din din. Thanks !
Hope it turned out nice and juicy raino! How could it not?!
