Popeyes Beer Can Chicken

[keithbar 1]

Wtf this commercial offends my sensibilities I consider myself a decent cook . And have made Beer Can Chicken on many occasions to rave reviews i might add. but it was always about slow roasted smoked. and dry rub spices . never did it have anything to do with deep fried w t f ???

i have on occasion been accused of pulling low . My response. Naw I wasn't low I'm just such a big guy I look closer than I really am .

Fuck you Hector. If it's not about the beer, then don't fucking call it beer can chicken; especially if beer is not involved at all.

I don't even like Popeye's Chicken so I don't care. Even another reason to not eat there.

Done right.

Done right.

A relative of mine once did it with a can of Maui Brewing Coconut Porter. OUT-STANDING. (And obviously the dry rub spices were really good too.)

There's one down the street from me. I've been there once. This is just another reason to not go a second time.

Fosters: almost entirely unavailable in Australia. After a decade in Oz I could count the number of times I saw regular Fosters on the fingers of one hand.

Ha, from what I have read, it's not even brewed there. Just the recipe.

I use Fosters cans for stability. I also spice up the brew with some hot peppers to complement the rub i make.

I don't do the can but I've got a nice gas fired smoker and a secret rub. We do ribs, chickens, Thanksgiving turkeys, pork roasts, briskets. . .

I don't do the can but I've got a nice gas fired smoker and a secret rub. We do ribs, chickens, Thanksgiving turkeys, pork roasts, briskets. . . try the can you'll like the can. but the 1st rule of beer can chicken is open can pour 3/4 or a little more into a frosty cold glass. and drink it. I have seen idiots stick a whole beer up there. it's never going to boil and it's less stable. i have a couple of can holders but the best one is the cast iron one that holds two cans. nice and stable and it heats up and puts a nice sear on the back of the thighs

i have on occasion been accused of pulling low . My response. Naw I wasn't low I'm just such a big guy I look closer than I really am .

[JohnMitchell 16]

Hmm, I bet I could get some bar stock and short pipe stubs and weld one up. . .

should be easy to do if you have access to the material and a welder. mine is just a cast iron serving tray shaped rectangle two stubs of pipe tack welded to it. upturned edges with handles that you need a good pot holder to grab

In addition to my dry rub, I drink my can to just below a half and add some crushed garlic, a Tbs of worstishire sauce and a squirt of liquid smoke. Nice!

There are *lots* of good beers brewed in the US;
But not by the huge, foreign-owned corporations.

Sure they're good, if you compare them to the stuff put out by the huge, foreign-owned corporations!

I watched this thread from the start and have done Beer Can Chicken for years. I still will for affect at times but have learned better. I did not read the article because I know who Meathead is very well and do not agree with plenty that spills out of his mouth.

That said I am a smoking fanatic. I would love to be able to purchase food of the quality I smoke as it would be so much simpler. It just does not exist in my area with the exception of a local processing company that does beef sticks rivaling my best but still lacks the smoke flavor that a good home guy gets.

Even in this thread there is a prepped chicken with limited rub. Hell I use more rub on my chicken under the skin. Yes I massage the rub under the skin. Open it up wherever I can. Stuff the neck, ect.

Anyway. Do not post a blog from Meathead as a formal source. The dude is not the final word on anything and half the shit he says is highly questionable. In short, he is full of himself. That said, I have been accused of the same

That spot isn't bad at all, the winds were strong and that was the issue! It was just on the downwind side.

I'll take that, I don't know much about meathead. For beer-can I'll source my understanding of cooking that there's no way for the beer to get into the chicken and have any effect on the meat. Better result is indirect heat w/ wood charcoal, rotiesserie - I like using soaked corn shuckings on the coals. What's giving that great flavor is the rub, the crisp heavenly smelling skin, and a light smoke. A can of hot beer sitting in there isn't doing anything.

Maybe a really malty beer in a crock pot would make good chicken? Hmmmm. Hungry now.
