Yumminess

Oh my word, the beer can chicken was SO good. And so easy! I highly recommend splurging on the $2.50 stand to hold the chicken up. Otherwise, it will fall over. I cooked it in the oven, but I think alot of people grill it. I would think the oven would cook it more evenly. Anyway, here it is: Beer Can Chicken* 1 whole chicken 1 can of beer 2 teaspoons poultry seasoning a spoonful or so of minced garlic cajun seasoning (we like the Lousiana brand the best) 1/4 cup water half a small potato Preheat oven to 350. Empty out half the can of beer (by pouring it down the sink, or giving it to your husband). Add the poultry seasoning and garlic to beer and set the can in the stand, inside of a pyrex or aluminum pan or something. Rinse off chicken and pat dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle some cajun seasoning on the inside and then place chicken over the can. Sprinkle more cajun seasoning all over the outside of the chicken. Plug the neck of the chicken with the potato to seal in juices. Pour the water in the pan. Cook for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until thermometer reads 180. *This recipe may be inappropriate for those Southern Baptists reading this.

  1. What?!! Southern Baptists can't have drunk chicken? It was the chicken who "drank" the beer, not the Southern Baptist eating it. I do need to say though, that my dad was VERY hesitant the first time Cam cooked this for him. And then he wanted to know, "well, who BOUGHT the beer?"

    *Cam smokes them in the smoker...never tried it in the oven!

  3. More proof of God's sense of humor! Every other blog is about some wonderful (read "fattening") recipe you have just prepared, yet we can't tell if the picture of those panties hanging on the clothesline belong to the 2 and 4 year olds, or their mother!! I'm not laughing!!!

  4. Pamela--because of the beer in the recipe. There's a joke Kevin always tells: Why don't you take a Baptist fishing with you? Because he'll drink all your beer. How do you stop him from drinking your beer? Take two Baptists with you.
