ltmurnauI like chicken.
I like chicken so much I have to restrain myself from genuflecting before the roast-chicken keeper at Safeway.
Yesterday I got a chicken cook book called Chicken! Chicken! Chicken! and More Chicken! by Lynn Mendelson, a sequel to her earlier book Chicken! Chicken! Chicken!. It has some really interesting recipes, but it missed one that I want to try one day, yoinked and retyped from www.achewood.com:
Beer Can Chicken
Ingredients
1 5-pound chicken, cleaned
1 aluminum can of beer, half full
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
Oil
Preheat oven to 400 F. Line a roasting pan with foil. Pour all seasonings into the beer can and stir. Stick the can up the chicken's butt and place it upright in the pan, as if it were sitting up (quick memory flash of the roast chicken dancing to lounge music in the old Ernie Kovacs Show). Spray the chicken skin with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper to add flavour and get it crispy. Bake for about 90 minutes. The beer and seasonings will steam up and cook the chicken from the inside, so it will be very moist. When it is done the juices should run clear, not pink. Let chicken rest for 10 minutes before serving.
