Being an american that grew up in Holland, it cracks me up to see 2 Dutch guys doing southern cooking. Awesome, pure awesome.
I just watched an english speaking Dutch guy trying an American beer can chicken recipe with Alabama white sauce. We live in awesome times. We really do take the internet for granted.
poor away half of the beer, add some chickenspices to the beer, throw in some garlic & rosemary & close off the top of the chicken with an onion. Beer can chicken works
That’s what I do. Drink half the beer and add spices, etc. So good.
sounds good bro
Came here to say this. Always pour out half and use room temp beer.
maybe heat the beer up inside the barbecue first so that it steams when you put the chicken over it. Maybe it works. :)
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.
The point isn't to cook it faster.
It's to make it moister and more flavorful.
But the liquid in the can never evaporates or boils out…he points out at 9:22 that the temp of the hot water he put in is nowhere near boiling, so it’s not really moisturizing anything.
@@jeffhouse9387 water does not need to boil to evaporate :) when you are under the shower, your water is not 100c but your surroundings are getting damp :)
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.
Eduardo...How many minutes per pound do you barbecue the chicken?
I always us 1/4 can room temperature beer. 20 minutes per pound @ 190-225 degrees. Alcohol boils @180-195
Couldn’t one heat the beer up prior to use?
Seriously.. Never use cold beer for beer can chicken.. you loose heat .. which is why it wasn't done with the other chickens
@@jeffreymccullough8058 one could always heat their beer up prior to use no?
I was laughing because you doubted the beer can chicken but you could tell
It was the best ! The “ burnt seasoning “ looked like it was cooked right
Step 1 drink half a can.
Step 2 shove the can in a chicken.
Step 3 put chicken in pre heated oven.
Step 4 drink rest of 6 pack while chicken cooks.
Step 5 eat chicken it will taste just fine.
Everything tastes good after 6 beers :-)
Stevo Is Lost , I LOVE IT. I GOTTA TRY THIS!
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!
same way I do it .Half can ,season put it on .I have never had a promblem ,juicy and succulent .my family loves it .and I also do it in my oven in my cast iron skillet.
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.
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).
Love your channel!
I love your videos. Keep up the good work man ❤
Thanks bro
I was under the impression you were supposed to pre-heat the beer can/contents BEFORE you put the chicken on it. This helps prevent things you spoke about at the beginning of your video.
WOW! That made me want to go to the store and get some chickens. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,
Jay 😁
Im surprised I haven't subscribe yet! This is really good channel. Very informative with a bit of entertainment.
Great example of just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. Thanks for unpacking this one objectively and for ensuring no more beer is wasted
🤩💪🤩
That was a great video and experiment. Keep up the good work! 2 thumbs up.
I'm pleased it's not just a gimmick! It's hard to know without doing a side by side test. Thanks Roel!
I do this every Thanksgiving day. Beer butt Turkey. It take me 2 hours to cook a whole 18LB bird. I put my bird in a roaster pan and wrap and seal the whole thing in foil. Best juicy tasting Turkey ever!!!
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
Excellent stuff, keep em coming
Never grilled a beer can chicken, must try for myself, just to be sure!
Great vid as always!
Love your videos - makes me miss Holland - most of my family is still there - thanks for making great videos!
As everyone else has said, you only use half a can of beer! It works well and we use this method all the time.
We've even done a can with an apricot jam and mayonnaise mixture, which gave the chicken a almost sweet and sour taste my kids love. They are not huge fans of the beer taste, so I do both.... 😄
Hahahaha He was lost on the "ROLL TIDE"
WAR EAGLE
When I bang my sister I yell RollTide
Love the Channel! This is my version of Beer can ChickenPour out some beer in a bowl mix the beer with 1/2 tbs of melted butter with pinch of smoked paprika, salt, and 1/2 tbs of garlic powder. Inject the whole chicken. Heat the Beer on the grill till it boils first so the can and beer are hot! Then go ahead and finish everything the same way you did!!
"A knife is a tool; you should use it that way." Words that so many of my fellow American men need to hear. There's this weird sensation around "manhood" about having the nicest, most expensive, knife and never using it because they don't wanna ruin it. What's the point of the knife then? Anyway, great cook today! I have really enjoyed your channel since I found it in November. Keep em coming!
Rock on Daniel!!!
I know right. He said it and then it immediately resonated with me. It makes sense. Lol
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.
Daniel Glover i thought u were reffering to stabbings when u said "a knife is a tool; you should use it that way"
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.
Its not a speed thing and you only use a partial can, not full, thats a waste.
fantastic, keep up the good work, when I do a beer can chook I inject the chook with a bit of melted garlic butter which for me adds a bit of extra tenderness. You could omit the garlic depending on personal taste. This technique works great for me but doesn't mean it would suit others. Just thought I'd share the idea no need for negative reactions. Thank you
Sorry if im wrong Pitmaster, are you not supposed to empty the beer to under a half before cooking??
Drink 1/3rd to 1/2 and add seasonings. But, Yes.
yes as well as preheat the beer can
And also inject some of the beer in the breast and thighs to ensure beer flavour
I just don't like wasting beer. I think you get more added flavor if you brine it first for a few hours.
roel is going to eat every last fucking chicken in that tent!
I loved the video. You should do a braised beef shank video one of these days.
Use a room temperature can of beer pore about 2/3 out, add soy sauce, garlic and teriyaki and ginger if you like, to the beer. Cooks up fantastic.
You mean drink it right?
@@joederue9900 Yes
The Alabama sauce is just excellent. ROLL TIDE, Pitmaster X!!!!!!
Roll Tide Roll!
I used half a small can of beer, generous salt and rosemary inside the chicken, and a usual amount of seasonings on the outside. It was the best chicken I've ever had.
Great job! Love the 3 ways. Great way to come to conclusion with out 3 separate goods. Learn the cook first them throw 3 ideas up against them selves. Save money and equal equal cook. Weather, mood and other variables will be none existent. TY and stay well.
I once saw a guy cook a whole chicken in a big coffee can. The can was filled halfway with charcoal. He lit the charcoal. The chicken was dipped in a spicy bbq sauce and then wrapped in banana leaves. He then put the chicken in the can. It looked good.
Wtf Roel, where's the Ketjap Manis? I totally expected "I'm going to make this sauce better by adding ketjap"
I'm from Tennessee and it broke my heart to hear you say "roll tide."
@John Daley "roll tide" is University of Alabama's slogan. The football team's nickname is the Crimson Tide.
Roll Tide Roll!!
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.
Done it, love it ! ;-)
Glad your doing the DRUNK CHICKENS. They are awesome!!
I loved everything about this.
Great video, it looks perfect and really tasty
Yes, again a masterpiece by Pitmaster X. With Alabama White Sauce and chicken on a can! Oh you are really spoiling us!
you should actually warm half a can of beer on the grill before putting the chicken over the can never start with cold or room temperature beer 😊
Great experiment! Always interesting videos! De la puraaa!
Where did you get that leather apron with the sheath? It’s awesome!
Love your videos Pitmaster. What about boiling the beer with herbs and spices first to get the juice and texture from boiling water but with the flavour of the beer can?
I like your kitchen!
I'm subscribed!!!
I’ve done this many times an idk I’ve got the beer to steam out into the chicken. An it’s always come out great yes it may take a bit but it can be done.
like your vids, keep them coming
you can put aromatic herbs, garlic and other condiments inside the tin to improve its flavor, greetings from Mexico.
If you want the skin to be crispy, use some air and blow it under the skin to separate it from the meat. Then when you roast it, the juices from the meat won't affect the skin and keeping it from crisping up
great tip
I’m from Alabama and white sauce isn’t my fav. I’m not real big on it, but I do use it on chicken sometimes. When made right it’s actually good. Roll Tide is a way of life!!! ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!!
I'm from Columbus, Ga and I've never even tasted white sauce. This Dawg will never root for Bama or Auburn again after you girls lost to Clemson and UCF.
You don't use a full can of beer, about 1/3 is enough.
Maybe a beer can chicken, but can a chicken beer?
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.
After watching this, we switched to half a can of Fresca and spices, heated by putting can in a pot of water on grill before it goes under the chicken. Pretty good!
I always used a torch to heat up the beer can before putting the chicken over it. Also, you can drink some of the beer down to about 2/3 to make it easier to keep warm.
The point is to cook it slowly over indirect heat. Rotate it relatively often to ensure even cooking.
nice experiment for the upcoming bbq season. i will try to preheat the beer and add some broth, spices and herbs to it. best wishes from germany.
Well we have been cooking chooks on a beer can on the campfire in Australia for years and always have a great result. Lots of flavour and nice and tender. Secretly, the beercan is the way to go!
ha! You might lose some subscribers yelling roll tide, but I'm here to stay. Awesome video!
A tiny bit of research on beer can chicken and your experiment might be worth doing and uploading.
The trick is to preheat the beer ,,, yes .... now the chicken breast will be juice as well ... did I say juicy as well ... I mean juicy as Hell ! 😂😂
So I'm thinking, heat the beer, then pour it back into the can. Mine with room temp beer was a bit dry on the breast too. Great job, I enjoyed watching.
I want to know this guy's exercise/workout routine, if he regularly eats as well as this.
Great, bro... a chicken is a true dinosaur... perfect on the roti, on the can and as a roadkill... thumbs up!
The mention of the fried steak graph made me lol
What brand of grill gloves are you using? I'd love to get myself a pair.
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.
If you smoke it at a lower temperature like 225f then you can cook a chicken that size for two to three hours and you'd have more than enough time for the beer to get up to temperature of the chicken.
Great video, thanks for sharing.
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 just made your white sauce from this video and it was AMAZING!!! I wanted to drink it with a straw. I omitted the horseradish because I don’t like that. I can’t wait to use this on my beer can chicken this weekend. Thank you so much for the recipe😀👍
Pitmaster X Alabama White Sauce Recipe from this video...
1 cup mayo
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
Juice of 1/2 a lime
2 Tbls. Raw cane sugar
1/2 tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp. Black Pepper
1 Tbls. Fresh chopped parsley
1 clove garlic minced
1/4 tsp. Cayenne pepper
2 Tbls. Worchestshire sauce
Mix all ingredients together and serve with the chicken.
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
For all my friends in Holland: The University of Alabama has an American Football team called "The Crimson Tide" Hence the phrase "roll tide"!
This is honestly hilarious to watch.
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.
Roel, what camera do you use? especially for the slomo shots
I'm blown away by this Alabama sauce! I'm from that region of the US and have never heard of it. SO cool. : ]
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.
I'd love to see other beer experiments, marinated, basted.....anything else you can think of, to see if there is a better way to get "that flavor".
Came for the science, stayed for the humor, subbed for fixing the Alabama white sauce!! Roll Tide and get a steady cam, I feel woozy after that Blair Witch footage. Also love the set design!
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'll even leave them outside in the sun to get them warm.
Start with a cold beer, drink half of it, then leave it in the sun to warm, then use it
yeah and put half the beer
I always warm the beer can up
I used a cold one 🥲
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.
This is my favorite way to cook chicken it works every time
Should have used cold beer, warm beer (not water), and a can with nothing in it.
Great. You should try a southern cajun seafood boil Traditional style! Crawfish, crab legs, corn etc etc
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.
You got a
You have to plug the neck and cook it low and slow for internal temperature of 165
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.
Cool additions to the bama white sauce. War Eagle!
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
Great experiment!
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.
*Awesome tips* 👍
👍👍👍
You may want to try grilling a few hamburgers while those chickens are smoking up a storm. The smoke from the Chicken Fat gives the burgers quite a delicious flavor.
Love juicy chicken like that! This was a great video!
