Beer Butt Chook

[MrNoodle]

Been doing it for many years and I'm still alright. ..........

Bugger the beer, I'm thinking Wild Turkey chook

Jim Beam does the trick.

I haven't tried it, but have heard that a can of Fanta works well if you like orange chicken. Perhaps at the next meet it can be a chook cook off with all different flavors tried. Would someone give this a crack with red bull??!!

Just need swannie to commit to another Knockwood trip!

I've used this method years ago but now I far prefer spatchcocking chooks and if I've got time brining them first

[Footy Shorts Shane]

so anyone tried this recently?

I was given one of those beer bird things years ago. I think I threw it out, but will look tonight when I get home. If it's there, I'll post it down and you can see for your self if it's any good.

Absolute total waste of a good beer IMO.

It will never work with Red Bull, because Red Bull gives you wings, in this case, the chook, which, even though it has a can wedged firmly up its blurter, will now have fresh wings and will fly away.

Or, you end up with a cooked chook with extra wings..... hmmm, I love chicken wings.....maybe it is worth a try.

Ginger beer, Lemonade, lemon squash, and passiona all work.  Mate did all those for a bbq the other week.

I reckon cider would be nice.

I've done it a lot years ago, but not recently. (Gone more Asiany lately)  Use half a can of beer and put a splash of Italian Salad dressing in the can with the beer and rub the same dressing on the outside of the chook before he goes in the oven or BBQ or whatever.

Very moist chicken!

Still better to brine it tho...and spatchcock best bbq chook you'll ever eat and far quicker

[Bird]

Im going to try Root beer...

[Hogbert_1999]

A great recipe for this is half the can of beer and the other half a good BBQ sauce really does make it taste good

[PJ80]

I suspect it would taste fowl!

Apologies - bad Dad joke.

[Hefty]

I've been meaning to try this but I've also read over on aussiebbqforum that some people say the can makes no difference and is just the upright chicken that cooks better. I agree with dales133,  spatching and brining are better but maybe I'll try one with can and one without to compare.
Cheers!

Been a member there a fair while and a few American forums.
There realy is no real advantage other than exposing more surface area of the chicken to the heat.
Try this.... get two of those rays chicken fisters and put a beer can in one and season the other the same and put it on the same thingo with no can and I bet if you didn't know you wouldn't tell the difference

[dales133]

Then try brining a whole chicken for 4 hours or so and then spatchcock one for a minimum of 3 and cook them and then tell me beer can chooks are better

Give me a good stuffing over a warm can of beer any day.

If no time to whip up a stuffing. half a lemon, half a onion,  6 cloves of garlic squashed, bunch of thyme and a knob of butter up the date beats the hell out of warm beer and aluminum.

A chook in a roasting dish on a bed of thickly sliced onion and a cup of stock poured in will be super moist.
