Chicken On The Trail

“Wonder how long this would take to cook


Beer Bird”

“wow, that last picture is rather gruesomely romantic.”

“Yeah, the one on the right looks like it has a halo over its head”

“Sounds great to me. Beer is a good basting ingredient for all kinds of meats, and even makes one great gravy.”

“My wife went to the grocery store yesterday, with explicit instructions from me to buy a 6-pack of Dos Equis Amber. She couldn't find a 6-pack, so she bought the 12...ahh, she's so good to me...”

“Pass the gravy, man!”

“I have smoked beer butt chicken several times. Chili is the one who told me about it. It's very good stuff. I usually smoke it on the bottom rack and put some country style bacon on the top rack. It drips down on the chicken below.”

“Jaegermeister makes for an excellent marinade, just put yer steaks in a ziploc with some Jaegey in the morning, sip or two for the chef, peak out, return to camp and enjoy... ahhhh!”

“Beer can chicken is a staple in these parts. You don't need the rack, just set the chicken on the can and prop it up on the rack.

After it cooks for a while, make a aluminum foil tent and cover the chicken loosely,,the steam from the beer works like a charm.

BTW, although I don't normally dring Bud, I have found that it is by far and away the best brand to use for Beer Can Chicken,,,not sure why, but it has made a noticable difference.”

“uuugghh, just the thought of Jaegermeister makes me nauseous. guys seem to like it way more than girls do, i think. weird!”

“chili - how many beer can varieties have you tried? - those poor little chickens!”

“lyra, was this due to a bad night out and one too many, hmmm? No really, it's yummy, it tenderizes the meat and adds a hint of sweetness. So what, if we were really $hitcanned when we thought that up?!?”

“Sorry to seem like a kid in a candy store, but the beer can chicken is a new one on me.”

“I have tried 8 or 10 different brands, Lite beer, dark beer, import, red ale,.....


Bud works the best.

Poor chicken???? dude, make sure they are dead and cleaned before trying this...LOL!”

“Really, treebeard? It's a classic - Checkout the book, the Art of Grilling, although they use 16 ouncers! I admit you never forget the first time you see that chicken with a beer can up it's @$$!”

“What can I say. Just a naive city boy, I guess”

“Umm so where are all the choke the chicken jokes?

The closest so far is Chili36 with his...

"Poor chicken???? dude, make sure they are dead and cleaned before trying this...LOL!"”

“Yuk...Chicken-flavored beer???

NO WAY!!!”

“2 points awarded to Chili for that close call...”

“Either that, or you and the chicken have to know each other REALLY well....”

“Wow, this thread is poultry in motion.”

“though i initially felt bad about sticking something that wide up that part of anything's body, dead or alive this really does taste good...the part of texas i was in when introduced to beerbutt chicken only allows for lonestar beer to be used (not recommended for regular consumption)
good stuff :D”

“I've done this before!!!! Its tasty!!!!!!!!”

“beer butt chicken...only a southerner would think of that! Nothing a Yankee would consider!”

“its hilarious when you get the little chickie on the beer can!! Hee hee.. I did it with Southpaw.”

“There is a great chicken tenderizing technique in the movie "Pink Flamingoes."”

“Smokeygirl, watch how you phrase that...


lol j/k”

“hey, i'm a yankee and i quite enjoyed it, though i agree, a suth'ner must have invented it...”

“Ut oh, Lyra, due to your comments about jaegermeister, you are hereby disbared from the red bootie club. I'm sorry....it's just the way it has to be.”

“NOOOOOOO!!! this is an outrage! and Bobo is sort of right...i did have a night of puking due to the horrid stuff. my birthday, in fact! but i hated it before then. this calls for a poll of who hates it! i'm betting more girls hate it than guys.”

“Hmmm..maybe it should read "barred"? I feel as if my spelling is extra super poor today. Maybe not enough cookies.


I, personally, like it, especially in the cool months.

Tarabull likes it.”
