But I did use the beer to make a sauce, and you're right it's quite a tricky procedure removing the can.

Beer ...Sorry, haven't been back on for awhile.<br /><br />Beer can chicken ---- good recipes on Epicurious.<br /><br />But basically you take a can of beer, drink one quarter up to one half, put the remainder of the beer (still in the open can) inside the chicken (skin on) and stand upright on the grill.<br /><br />I find it is best to put a pan under the bird to catch all the drippings and to use the indirect heat method. <br /><br />Put the cover on the grill and cook until the chicken is done (it is challenging to overcook them using this technique). Makes an incredibly moist and most succulent bird.<br /><br />One can season the chicken however you want and should put some of the seasoning in the can.<br /><br />One can use any canned drink and any fowl (although I suppose with a large fowl one would need to use a Foster's or some huge can.<br /><br />In the US they sell little stands to hold the can and chicken upright.<br /><br />The one warning----the can is occasionally a little difficult to remove--I sometimes need to stick something down the neck to prod the can a little. And when the can comes out it contains boiling liquid so one must use some care.John Frumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15427464053816544423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18862674.post-78942518840393554662009-06-05T16:06:47.794+02:002009-06-05T16:06:47.794+02:00Mais non... ground lamb is pretty easy to find her...Mais non... ground lamb is pretty easy to find here. If the supermarchés can't flog it as chops, they grind it up and reduce the price. Good for curries, too.

They're served in a bun with dijon mustard and a fresh basil leaf.
