Title: Beer up the keister chicken
Post by: dkhhuey on September 14, 2010, 02:33:33 pm: Greetings all

I can see I need to be very careful on this site for two reasons:

Becoming incredibly obese eating all of food recipes I want to try from this site.

Getting chided relentlessly by all of the other posters if I fail to chose my words carefully.

I believe my first attempt at smoking meat this weekend will be the pulled chicken recipe that entails shoving a 1/2 full can of beer (the other half of contents of beer consumed prior to cooking) up its backside. I read the other posts so I'm not even going to bother caring about the skin!

I can only hope that this first attempt will at least render something edible - any advice on how to increase the probability of that would be greatly appreciated!

I am picking up a Braunfels Smoker - I will attempt to post a pic of it but since I'm a bit new on the forum it make take me a bit to figure it out. It has a separate firebox.

Post by: azkitch on March 20, 2011, 06:50:12 pm: Welcome, Doug. Glen, the chamber on a NBBD should be tall enough. I cooked BC chicken in my BrinkSnPP--basically the same cooker, only lighter without the cool cast iron grate. Good luck on them, Doug. Once you get the temps inside up to around 300, the chicken will take about 1 1/2 hours for a standard 4-5 pounder. Longer lower, obviously.

Post by: Atlas on March 21, 2011, 05:16:34 pm: I've done beer can chickens, 3 at once, in my ECB that came out great. Placed a mixture of diced shallots, diced portabello 'shrumes and olive oil under the skin, then lightly sprinkled the skin with paprika just for color. Closed the neck with small onions to keep the steam inside the bird. Was so pleased with the results I never thought of doing them on the offset. You may want to add a water pan just to keep the skin from drying out.
