      maybe heat the beer up inside the barbecue first so that it steams when you put the chicken over it. Maybe it works. :)

    • @RichardCampbell_DotNetRocks
      @RichardCampbell_DotNetRocks 5 років тому +15

      I think the cage holding the beer cans in the video impairs the cooking process - you need the heat of the grate to heat up the beer can. I put my beer can chicken directly on a small cast iron fry pan - it makes sure more heat conducts into the can (so the liquid actually boils!) and it catches the drippings from the chicken so that I don't get flare-ups.
      Arguably, the most important thing that the beer can does it provide thermal stabilization - slowing down the rate of the breast cooking so that it doesn't dry out by the time the thighs are cooked. Also, cooking a chicken upright means that the breast sag downward, also making them thicker, so they cook slower. The traditional roasting chicken position means the breast flatted out and are thinner.

    As somebody that makes beer can chicken all the time I think there’s two keys to doing this properly. First thing is that you can’t use cold beer. The beer needs to be left out at room temperature minimally. Second if you take a high alcohol content cider (9-12% ABV) you’ll get a juicier apple flavored chicken which, in my opinion, goes with the flavor of chicken phenomenally.

      Ifan Morgan, no, that’s “half stepping” ask a vet about that term! :) :) :) the hell with the six pack unless you get a few glasses (not shots) of Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey 70 proof sipping whiskey. Rule of thumb, for each 6 pack of Miller High Life (the original ones in a bottle not a can) the aluminum makes the beer taste like metal. You should drink (3 ) 8 ounce glasses of Tennessee Honey! Now after that, you really won’t give a hoot which chicken was cooked which way! SEMPER-FI all and ENJOY. Just remember the Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey!

    Closing the opening in the neck cavity will allow the steam to better stay inside the bird. Pull the skin over the opening and use a turkey lacing skewer to hold the skin in place. AND only 1/3 can of beer needed.

  • @jcat5150
    @jcat5150 5 років тому +7

    I did my own version of this experiment several years ago and decided to drink the beer and cook the chicken......lol....what I HAVE decided is that the stand puts the bird in an orientation such that indirect heat from the outsides cooks the legs faster without drying out the breast/body that I leave in the middle (in my case coals from a weber kettle on the outsides but leaving the middle burner off in a 3 burner gas rig would be same thing I suspect).

  • @tomstestkitchen

    Excellent experiment Roel! Technically it's the fact that "beer can chicken" is grilled vertically on some gadget, in most cases a beer can. Traditionally 3/4 of the beer is removed, spices are added and the chicken is propped on top. Theoretically the moisture from the beer will keep the chicken moist, but it doesn't. Nice white sauce BTW

      I agree that a knife is a tool. A couple of other tools that go with the knife is a sharpener (stone, machine, etc) and a butcher's steel. Sharpen the knife and do what you need to do. Resharpen when needed. Even cheap knives will cut well when sharp.
      As for cutting the top of the can, I don't see that as necessary. Just pop the top and pour out most of the beer. I leave about 1/4. The steam/aroma/flavors will just as easily come out of the built-in hole as they will if the top is cut out.

      No just no. A knife is a tool yes but there are ways to be used correctly. There is a reason you do not use a Philips screw driver on a pozidrive drive screw. Both look the same but there is a correct way and the incorrect way.
      There are skinning knifes paring knifes chefs knifes filleting knifes if it is not designed for the task do not use it that way.

    To make a Beer Can Chicken recipe work you need:
    1. half litre beer, so the beer will overflow and make the chicken juicy
    2. beer in room temperature, so you don't need to warm it up that long
    3. baking tray to deflect the heat and catch all the juice
    You can add some chopped onions and carrots on tray.
    The chicken should reach 75' Celsius.

    have done the beer can chicken many times, a trick I use is, pour half the beer into saved fruit cocktail can ( because of the larger size). Because of the larger size, you'll have to stretch the bird over the can which will radiate and help cook bird from the inside as well. I use corn flakes (crushed of course) with the rub, to add that extra crunch, putting garlic and jerk power in the beer to add flavour.

    Great test. I usually pour some of the beer on the chicken before adding the rub to really impart the beer flavour plus helps rub to stick. Then I only put about 1/5 of the beer in the can as too much takes the heat away from warming up the nearly full can. One can of beer is enough for dousing 3 chickens plus a bit for 2 additional empty soda or beer cans.

    So glad to see someone make Alabama white BBQ sauce! To be pedantic about it though - that style is specifically from Northern Alabama, almost on the Tennessee boarder. As you get further South you almost never see it being used. There's MANY variants, and most people who make it at home just use cider (or plain distilled) vinegar in about a 1:2 ratio with the mayo, add pepper, cayenne, salt, and that's it. I've also seen people add water to thin it out a bit. The original concept comes from BBQ legend "Big" Bob Gibson.

    I use an empty cream of mushroom and add some Bacardi rum with coconut. I then use drippings from inside and outside chicken plus cream of mushroom soup to make gravy, yum

    Ok here’s what I do and omg it has never let me down for tenderness and crispy skin, I slow smoke-cook mine on a UDS at 110C, I mix my rubs which doesn’t matter the skin will still be crispy, I use Irish Guinness and smoke for 3.5 hours and omg it literally disintegrates in your mouth when eating, I also use half a lemon on the top of the neck cavity and the flavour it adds is incredible, I did a whole turkey at Christmas one year and have never had a more tender and juicy bird, it took 5 hours but was incredible, love this channel mate, can you do some lamb shoulder as I don’t think I’ve seen you do it, I’m considering doing a smoking channel as have 5 different types and wouldn’t cook my meat any other way, I have actually drawn some inspiration for the way you cook and the meat you use, cheers brother, hope to meet you some day

    I ike really crispy skin. I use a little Miracle Whip salad dressing (not Mayonnaise) Rub it on the chicken untill it disappears like a hand cream. Add your seasonings and roast.

    I’ve been watching your channel for some time and you’re legit. I am a BBQ enthusiast and have recently moved to The Netherlands. Unfortunately, I can’t find the best beef, pork shoulders, ribs and all the cuts I used to get I the USA. I see that you can and do get awesome meats and was wondering where I may be able to purchase the same quality cuts that you cook on your channel. I live in The Hague so any pointers would be great.

      You could give the Makro, Hanos, Sligro a chance. You'll need to apply for a card to get in there though. Most businesses have one of those cards so you could ask your coworkers if you can borrow the card. If you have your own business just apply for a card yourself. Even better is to get to know your local butcher. I live in a town nearby The Hague and my butcher raises their own cows/pigs in another part of the Netherlands to make sure he's got prime quality. If you ask nicely you can get any cut you like.

    There is also a more stable based method that the chicken juices drain back down into the 1/2 beer and spice that I have found works even better. It has about a 10 Inch base that the cone and a perforated platform come of so that the beer/soda/soup base then cook and steam from the inside. also root veggies can be steamed and cooked in the juices.

    Use room temperature beer instead of cold....may keep chicken from overcooking.

    I've been doing beer can chicken for years, I always brine the chicken night before and leave in the fridge overnight with all kinds of spices in the brine, room temp beer, room temp bird, then inject butter and spice mixture under the skin, and into meat.
    I've found 1/2 can Apple ales and the more premium beers seem to give the best flavor, Budweiser, Coors etc. give a bitter flavor.
    We've also tried fruit nectar's ( Apple, peach, apricot, pineapple) but prefer the beer.
    I wrap the bird in foil for the last of the cooking time after skin is nice and brown.

    I typically do a half can room temp beer (and spices) with indirect heat. I put the back of the bird to the heat to have the most indirect heat to the breast (i.e. left side burner off and right side on). It prevents the flare ups and overall burning of the skin. I tend to think turning the bird back to the fire helps retain moisture better.

    Alabama white sauce, mayo, white vinegar to desired thickness, salt and pepper to taste, and a little bit of lemon juice(optional). Blend in a blender, or put it in a jar and give it a good shake. I like to hold on to an old mayo jar, and put a cup or 2 of mayo in that jar, and add my vinegar, shaking until it’s as thick or as thin as I want it.

    It does work. My wife and I did one the other day. We put rosemary, garlic in the beer and put our own personal rub on the chicken and did it on the pellet smoker. It turned out amazing and juicy. Try it.

    You can also put aromatics like thyme rosemary and the such in the beer can and you are supposed to drink about half of the beer before you use it because it’s just going to overflow when it gets hot which might be why it took longer to cook

  • @christopherbell1953
    @christopherbell1953 5 років тому +1

    The experiment needs to be repeated with the chickens in three different locations each to even out the possibility of a hot spot on the BBQ. The one without liquid in the can might have been near to a hot spot.
