we finally tried the beer can chicken.
the recipe says to shove the half empty beer can up the chicken's butt, balance it on the grill and cook away with the cover on. so we did these things. except we didn't have a cover, so we made an aluminum foil tent. but then we weren't really prepared for the giant grease fire that would envelope the chicken about an hour into the cooking. we doused it with water, but it did nothing but make soggy burnt chicken. yummmmmy!
the aluminum tent and 10 foot high fire might be enough to make you think the experiment was a disaster. you'd be right. we won't be trying this one again. on the other hand, our experimental fried green tomatoes (home-grown) were great!
