Beer in the butt



I am still alive. I made a beer-in-the-butt chicken (aka beer can chicken) this past Saturday at Zed and Meredith's swanky temporary abode. It turned out well, after a smoky beginning which necessitated some repositioning on the grill. The chicken is grilled standing-up with the grilled covered, so it's important to position the coals off to the side of the grill. That way the chicken can be placed at the center of the grill (so that the dome will fit without touching the bird) without being directly over the coals (which will cause a nasty smoky fatty fire).

There was nothing extraordinary about the flavor: the chicken was just very moist and tender. There is potential there for a takeout joint, though...
