July 17: Beer Can Chicken

For Father's Day, my in-laws gave me a BBQ accessory that features dual holders upon which you can roast two chickens. It looks something like this. This evening, using this handy grilling accessory, we attempted Beer Can Chicken on the grill for the very first time. Of course, something of this magnitude we couldn't just leave to chance when preparing, seasoning and grilling the young bird. But, there are a million Beer Can Chicken recipes out on the Internet. Even found a few referencing it as "Beer in the Rear" chicken. Found that a little disturbing, but still continued the search. And, we ended up going with one of the The Food Network's recipes, figuring they, of all sources, wouldn't steer us in the wrong direction. I have to say, if you haven't tried out this novelty technique for roasting chicken on the grill, I highly suggest you give it a whirl. The chicken was moist, full of flavor, and just plain delicious!
