How to Make Beer Can Chicken

beercanchicken.jpg

Want to make the best dang chicken you’ve ever eaten? Try a beer can chicken on the grill. It’s pretty simple. You first cover the chicken with your favorite spice rub. I use Steven Raichlen’s basic BBQ rub of brown sugar (1/4c), sweet paprika (1/4c), pepper (3tbs), sea salt (3tbs), garlic powder (2tsp), onion powder (2tsp), cayenne pepper (1tsp). Then, you shove a can of beer (you can also use a soda) up the chicken’s butt with half of the liquid left inside. Poke extra holes in the top of the can and put a few spoons of your rub inside the liquid. The bird is then placed on the grill, resting tripod-style, on the base of the can and its two legs. And yes, it does look like it’s sitting on the toilet, and yes, your guests, your kids will get a good laugh out of how goofy it looks (but they won’t be laughing after they start eating).

Place the chicken on one side of the grill with the opposite side burners on (i.e. indirect heat). Cook for about 1-1/2 hours, or until 180-degrees internal. You’ll need to turn the chicken around every 1/4 hr so so that it cooks evenly. Some people like to use a drip pan underneath to catch and revaporize all of the liquid. Also: If you’re concerned about the aluminum can and its paint, etc., you can use a soup-type can with the paper label removed (just make sure it’s the kind that doesn’t have a white plastic lining).

Note: Some people stuff the neck cavity of their chicken with meats (sausage) or fruit/vegetables (onion, apple). To me, this diminishes the chimney effect that the beer can method is designed to take advantage of. The organic chickens I get usually have a big skin flap at the neck. I use that to close off most of the hole so that all of the juices don’t vent away.

Below is one Instructable for beer can chicken. There are others and lots of other resources online about it. Everyone has their own variation.

Money Celebrities Pictures

There’s a new craze going in United Kingdom - people take pictures of themselves partially covered with folded banknotes (mostly with queen Elizabeth) in the foreground. The result is merged faces of people and queen Elizabeth on the banknotes.

Things That Look Like Pac-Man

Pac-Man’s got to be right up there with Mario as one of the most recognisable videogame characters of all time. And because his basic design is simple, you can see him everywhere. Whenever you take a slice of pizza or cut a segment from a cake, he’s there. Then the noise starts to go in your head: waka waka waka waka waka…

Uniform and Humor

Now who says men & women in uniform can’t be funny? After all they too need to unwind & relax, which is quite obvious from few of these images. Though many other images are funny too, but these events may be a part of their regular routine & they may not feel it funny.
Then again laughter is something that makes you feel good & connects you to others.

Amazing Tongues

When we saw these images we did try to stretch our tongue, just to see whether we can touch the tip of our nose, but it turned out we aren’t one among them. Would it really make any difference if you have a longer tongue or if your boyfriend has it? Well we don’t think so; then again some may disagree for various reasons!

Strangest Plastic Surgeries

1-Prenatal plastic surgery

In Beverly Hills, cosmetic surgery is not just for those outside the womb. On 2007, Rhonda Hackensakis, joined many other Californians who are opting for controversial pre-natal surgeries. Her rationale? “I don’t want my own child to have to wait thirty years like I did. We’ve seen sonogram pictures that show she’s likely to have a sizeable schnoz, too. Why should she suffer from it when the science and technology now exists to make kids still more perfect little human beings, ready to take on the world the moment they emerge, and not predisposed to all the insecurities that result from something like that. If it makes just one kid more confident, it’ll all be worthwhile.” Doctors breaked and reconstructed the fetus’ nose while still in the womb, using new tools designed by a husband-wife team of surgeons, Guy and Nicole O’Gist. “After surgery,” says Guy O’Gist, “we plop the baby back in the womb to cook for another dozen weeks or so, where embryonic fluids smooth those surgical lines that might be seen if done outside the womb.”
