7 up can chicken.

I wish...I got lazy and nuked a Lean Cuisine in the
microwave. ;-) BUT I made up for it with a totally
orgasmic salad -fresh locally-grown tomatoes, fresh
greens and onions, a little pepper and topped off with an
onion dressing.

I've substituted tonight's can with a 7 up can. I doubt
I'll taste the difference.

Got the skin stuffed with butter that was mixed with
Herbes De Provance. And used the Home made Old Bay
seasoning for a rub with olive oil outside.

20 minutes or so to go. She sits in the Weber so proud, so
pretty. And she knows it. Tantalizing. Almost teasing. Oh
my. Tonight we love.. food.

I'm also making a cauliflower side dish. Blanched lightly,
then a tempura batter. Fried golden brown. Got some fennel
bulbs out of the backyard. Sliced them and added to
radicchios and endives. Wasabi salad dressing.

French Vanilla ice cream. Grand Marnier.

Wish you all eat as well tonight.

We had re-heated leftovers from yesterday as most of today
was spent gardening. ;-)

But, yesterday I did some boneless skinless chicken tenders
in the forman grill (got one rilly cheap on Austin/forsale
and I LOVE it) and sliced that up. I nuked some fresh
brocolli in the microwave with some butter and added some
fresh lemon juice to that, and added a lb. of pre-cooked
peel and eat shrimp, peeled of course! I tossed the shrimp,
brocolli and chicken all together with the lemon butter and
served some chopped roma tomatoes, baby spinach and boston
butter lettuce on the side with ranch dressing.

It was just as good today...

I haven't tried 7-Up yet. The little contraption I have will
let you do two cans (and two birds) at the same time. I
always do one with beer and then get creative with the
second. Pepsi is pretty good. Coke somewhat good.

What I haven't tried yet is one with orange soda. Has anyone
tried that? If so, is it good?

Papa Johns. I would have been happy with some baked chicken,
but my wife insisted on pizza. I don't mind usually, except

What has long puzzzled me about this kind of recipe is - how
can you be sure the ink on the beverage can is safe and
won't transfer toxic substances to the chicken? I could see
transferring the beer or beverage to a Pyrex or stainless
steel cup and sticking that in the chicken, but straight?
Nope not for me.

On the other hand it can hardly be more toxic than the
orange soda someone else proposed later in this
discussion....

How right you are. I tried it a couple of times and realized
that you can get just the same results with standard
roasting techniques.

Did not try the orange soda yet. But the 7 up came out
incredible. It was one of the best chickens I had ever
made in a BBQ. I only added a very light touch of
Mesquite smoke.

Will definitely do it again.

I do believe the paint on the can is "food grade" and
very very thin. It does not really get in contact with
any part that gets eaten anyways. Not most of the time
that I remember.

And the amount of paint it has, got so little substance
that it'd not have a chance to make a reaction.

But don't believe I did not consider the problem when I
made it the first few times with beer.

Not much to say. The recipes are a dime a dozen. The basic
Idea is that you shove a can of beer or cola or 7 up the
butt end and have the bird stand on it and the two legs.
Kind of propped up.

The liquid (you suppose to take a swig first) gets to steam
the inside, and impart flavors in the liquid, into the
chicken. People put herbs and spices in the can with the
beer and such. Sometimes I use Old Bay in the beer.

Truthfully, most of the flavor will be in your mind. At
least that is my opinion. The difference is, that the bird
stands, and gets cooked evenly all around.

They also sell bird stands. Some allows for a can to be
placed in there as well.

Overall, it is a great and easy way to BBQ chicken. Even
for beginners.

I agree with the flavor part of the statement. But I do
think it makes a difference in the donness and even
cooking of the chicken. I think Rotisserie will achieve
the same thing.

Its a new way to grill a whole chicken. You put a beverage
can of your choice in the cavity of a whole chicken and put
it on the grill.

As someone else has said, its a new gimmick but I'll
be damned if its not the most juicy whole chicken
you'll ever eat!

I love to grill and try different things. When I bought my
little stand, I was thinking that this piece isn't multi-
functional but I bought it anyways (I get a great employee
discount where I work) and did two different cans. One
beer and the other Pepsi. Had friends over that night and
now people are saying they've heard about the awesome
chicken I cook.

Of course, the beer can chicken doesn't compare to a deep
fried turkey around here...

I bought the stand that can do two chickens at a time. After
cooking about 20 of them, I've yet to have them tip over.
