HI gang, been talking to friend and thought he was joking

found this






How in the world, I wondered, does one insert a chicken in a can of beer?
So, trying to be practical in my fuzzy, early-morning state, I bought the largest can of beer I could find—Foster’s Bitter—and I bought the smallest chicken I could find, the next step up from a Cornish game hen.
When I brought my purchases home, my wife almost fell to the floor, she laughed so hard. Finally, she recovered and told me the awful truth: One does not insert the chicken into the can of beer. No. You insert the half-full can of beer up the rear ofthe chicken! It turns out that this is a very popular Southern recipe, and down there the good ol’ boys call it “Beer Butt Chicken.”
Well, anyway you, er, stuff it, this is a delicious recipe. Once properly inserted, the beer vaporizes and infuses the chicken with a delicious liquid as the bird cooks. It was difficult to insert the Foster’s Bitter can into the chicken, so the next time we made it I chose an 11.2-ounce can of Bavik, a sweetish, undistinguished Belgian lager I found at Trader Joe’s.
But we ran into trouble. Unlike the Foster’s can, which stood up like a rock, the smaller can was hard to balance beneath the chicken. It was a disaster. The can kept tipping over. Since then we’ve always used Foster’s Bitter—and a big chicken.
BEER-CAN CHICKEN

• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon oregano
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• One 31/2- to 4-pound whole chicken
• 1 can of beer—make it a large can

Blend or grind the spices, sugar, salt and chili together.
Discard neck and giblets of the chicken. Rub the chicken inside and out with the spice rub.
Cover with plastic wrap, refrigerate for at least four hours.
Prepare a medium hot grill.
Using a can opener, remove the top lid of the beer can. Drink half the beer, then slide the chicken over the beer can. Carefully place beer can with chicken on it in the middle of grill.
Grill about 11/2 hours until the juices run clear. Let chicken rest for 10 minutes, then gentlylift chicken off of the can. Discard the remaining beer. Serves 6.

Crazy phil, I thought he was joking reckons its lovely on the barby

What do you call that when there is a bird cooked inside another inside another, like chicken, goose and game or something posh people eat this could be sizzlers version.

If I get invited to a garden party take my own chicken and a can of fosters. Hay presto never invited back.

Hang on a minute, is that why i dont get asked to barbeques:mad::mad::mad::mad:
