Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Food, Cooking, and Game Preparation Beer-birds

Okay guys try this one...
<br>
<br>Stick an opened can of beer into the cavity of a chicken and stand the bird and beer upright on the barbeque.and shut the lid while it cooks. I haven't tried it yet but will. Apparently the skin becomes very crispy and the beer keeps the chicken moist from the inside. reported to be quite good.
<br>
<br>First, you have to drink about half the beer before you insert it into the chicken. This works best if you are cooking about a dozen birds. Then insert the can into the rear of the chicken. The can will help the birds stand upright on the grill. Salt and pepper the birds and then spread a thin layer of Mayonnaise (optional) on the birds to keep them moist on the outside. Cook over slow coals for about 1 to 2 hours or until the inside temp is 180 degrees. Be careful when you take them off the grill....you'll burn yourself on the hot can.

Well now Spike old bud I don't know about that one. I can sort of see it now. You throwing a back yard party. You got coals a going and alcohol fumes a circulating in the bar-b-q pit and the lid is closed and the grease is a sizzling and popping off them old chickens and you get a flare up.
<br>
<br>All of a sudden the lid pops open and them chickens are taking off with a WHOOOOSH trailing smoke and flame. Sort of a gourmet SCUD battery. All the guests are scattering, knocking over the beans and 'tater salad. Somping on the watermelons, slipping on the cantaloupe. Stumbling over the deep dish peach pie. Spilling their iced tea. Hiding under the pic nic table.
<br>
<br>There old Spike is, half lit, with his chef's hat drooped over one eye and his apron at half mast. Waving a hot pad, dodging assorted chicken parts and yelling INCOMEING INCOMEING.
<br>
<br>That there recipe sounds too [color:red]dangerous</font color=red> for me.

I have a slight varaition on your recipe. Drink all of the beer and fill the can half full of cranberry juice before sticking it into the chicken. What I want to know is how many beers did the guy drink who first tried this trick? PDS

Well Spike if you havent tried it how are we to know that this isn't some sort of vegan trick that will do bodily harm to us meat eaters, . Would that be 3.2 or real beer? Lets say a good stout drink the beer eat the chicken and say you had a real good time

Bullwnkl: spike was replying to BCR. Don't know how you thought he referenced to you. Better get your eyes checked.

Bull, oh I know you live on the wild side. Anyone that can pistol whip a piggy has got to be crazzzzy.
<br>
<br>Now somebody get a couple beers and some chickens and fire up the BBQ.....I sure as heck don't want to be the first to try. It's only fun until someone gets an eye poked out.

I'm going to pass on the beer/chicken deal this time. I have knocked off for the day got some ribs and a brisket or two working. Watermelons are ice down. 'Tater salad is percolating and the beans are doing good. Mama just took the peach pie out of the oven and it do smell good. Going to get together with a bunch of friends this evening and give thanks we can do so in freedom. I wish you all could join us.
<br>
<br>You all know I like to kid around but I got to tell this story about my goofy ass neighbor and him trying to deep fry a turkey. Now it happened a lot faster than it takes to write so read fast!
<br>
<br>He had this roaring fire going under his pot of oil and while I was sitting off a ways sort of supervising he dropped it in the pot. Dropped it in tail first. I told him I thought that was wrong but he paid me no never mind.
<br>I stood up and the durn turkey was actually hopping up and down in that boiling hot oil. Every time it would come up a bubble of air traped inside woud escape. Looked like that poor turkey was passing gas which I guess it was in a sense.
<br>
<br>Every time it came up it would make a noise like BLLOORP and sink again. Spattered grease out of the pot and and that was flaming up.
<br>Neighbor was going AHWWWW, AHWWW and trying to get to the burner and turn it down. Then he threw a dish towel over the top of the pot to hold it in or smother it or something.
<br>
<br>I guess the air trapped inside that turkey finally got hot enough or the water turned to steam or something. Anyway, there was a low pitched SHAFOOOOMP and the turkey come out of the pot and rose about four feet in the air. The dish towell was trailing out behind and it sort of looked like a half fried, naked Super Man. Turkey did a couple of slow rolls and landed and just laid there rocking back and fourth. Pot was totally on fire and I was laying on the ground LMAO.
<br>
<br>Neighbor runs over to rescue the turkey and makes a scientific discovery. Turkeys, that have been in boiling oil don't cool off that fast. He has it by the legs and can't let go fast enough so he heaves it straight up in the air. Turkey is now airbourne for the second time.
<br>
<br>Bless you if when it came down it didn't hit the pot and knock it over turning over the burner in the process. Now he has a spreading pool of burning oil on his patio with the centerpiece being dinner.
<br>
<br>He runs in the garage and comes back with a 20# fire extinguisher and finally gets the fire out. Has white powder and burnt lube all over his patio plus one carburized turkey.
<br>
<br>He looks over the damage and turns to me and says, "I don't think it is supposed to turn out this way".
<br>
<br>No S**t Sherlock!
<br>
<br>We went and got a hamburger.

<br>
<br>p.s. You all have a good fourth of July.

Well just read Boggys latest news and you will be cured, nothing like a good laugh to brighten the day.

OK something is very wrong here. DO ANY OF YOU KNOW HOW POed A CHICKEN GETS WHEN YOU TRY TO SHOVE A CAN OF BEER UP IT"S BUTT. They have very sharp nails on the end of their toes and the futher that beer goes the sharper those nails get. Am I doing something wrong? Oh BTY the damned thing wouldn't sit on the grill either. We had burgers too. even my brother-in-law wouldn't touch that beer after the chicken got rid of it.
