Explain.

You shove a half empty beer can into a chicken and BBQ it upright. It's supposed to steam the chicken from the inside.

Chicken is a meme.

>>12387269
die fag

>>12387240
research it , you fucking retard
google it and then read the recipes

fucking A , you are just to stupid for words to explain, you screeching autist

>>12387240
Yeah. It doesn't really do anything beneficial, but people convince each other it does and like the idea of it because it's a can of beer and that seems masculine.

>>12387240
Why don’t you just try it fag can’t cost more than 10 bucks.

>>12387240
The secret is to use a bottle, not a can.

Mmm plastic liner chicken

>>12387357
hmm yes... the secret

>>12387240
if anyone does anything then puts it on the internet good or bad it is a meme and you should kill yourself

Total meme, drumsticks and wings get too crisp by the time the rest of the bird is done

>>12387240
Yes, it is. Dumbasses that don't know how to cook love stupid gimmicks like this.

>>12387240
It would make more sense to marinate the bird in beer and then roast it. Or baste it with beer. Or pot roast it in beer.

>>12387240
I want to see someone try butterflying a chicken, then filling the tray under it with half a can of beer. Strictly speaking the effect should be similar, though I think most of the change will be to the gravy.
Beer Can Chicken is probably better than some techniques because the chicken is held upright, ensuring the chicken doesn't sit in its own drippings and the whole exterior gets crispy.

>>12387240
It was probably done to keep the chicken standing up so the skin would crisp evenly instead of getting a soggy bottom. But I don't think the beer actually does anything.

>>12387240
It's fine. It's the type of thing a 25 year old bachelor with a job at the bank would make to impress his buddies. It isn't as juicy as a brined chicken but the uprightness lets all the skin get crispy and I imagine that is the real secret

>>12387240
Yep it's a meme for people who can't actually cook well.

>>12387240
Tried it once at a restaurant. It was the driest and most bland chicken I ever ate. This is prob a terrible way to cook chicken

>>12387240
great way to cook a chicken
use an empty beer can with water if you want
what's in the an does not affet taste and Ive used 3 different beers, ginger ale, garlic cloves in the can.

chicken is moist and tasty.
better if you put some garlic cloves under the skin

>>12388920

no it doesn't
shut the fuck up

Tried this slow cooked in a wood fire pizza oven. It's not that great. Local charcoal chicken is better. Best chicken is slow cooked in a camp fire oven stuff with onions.

>>12388496
By crisp could you possibly mean overdone?

>>12389935
>tasty
girls aren't allowed to post on /ck/
should be an autobannable term actually, it's so fucking infantile

>>12387240
I remember reading where someone (maybe serious eats?) tested this using beer, water and no liquid and they came out with the same taste and texture. So yeah, it's a meme.

Bobby Flay says it's not a meme but you have to put a hole in the side of the can too. Also pour a bunch of rub inside the can before shoving it in the bird.
I realize you guys are all better chefs than him though.

>>12390482
A lot of chefs believe myths about cooking just like your average homecook.

In Mexico we call it "Raped Chicken"

>>12390237

I'll never try it because the can has a plastic liner and it's not designed with cooking temps in mind.

>>12390796
lmao, fag

>>12390482
Flay still thinks searing meat “locks in the juices” so his opinion is worth dogshit

>>12390237
Why would a girl upload a picture of linsday lohans chebs you fucking dumb cunt. Think once before you speak

just spatchcock the bird like a patrician

>>12387240
>putting an aluminium can with paint on it inside of an oven

I guess that's what natural selection looks like in 2019.

>>12390981
*aluminum

phoneposting was a mistake

>>12390981
there are people literally wrapping their food in aluminum foil in the oven, just let them remove themselves from the gene pool

do not use a beer can get a proper rack. beer cans have plastic linings.

>>12390991
Aluminium is the form basically everyone except Amerifats use. Much like the metric system.

i use this to make two chickens at a time

>>12391474
And much like everybody other than Americans, they are fucking wrong and irrelevant.

>>12390796

and your boyfriend's cock was designed by God for your mouth?

>>12391474
You learn metric in most science classes you'll take here though. I guess we can learn both because we're not subhuman yurofags.

>>12387357
>>12387240
Dont do this, it creates mustard gas!

Why not put the beer in a ceramic cup instead of leeching aluminum and vaporized can ink into the chicken
