Recipe Beer Can Chicken

Barbeque version:

• Take your chicken, season well on the inside and out.
• Open the can of beer, drop in the slices of ginger and garlic add a few splashes of soy sauce, you may need to tip a little of the beer out to fit everything else in!
• Open the cavity of the chicken, and insert the can, being careful not to spill.
• Put the chicken on the BBQ standing upright balancing on the can as a trivet, preferable cover with a lid or METAL bucket if using a Webber BBQ you need not worry.
• This takes approx 2 hours slow cooking, when near the end baste with plenty of oyster sauce and serve with savoury rice and a simple green salad and of course some more beer that is cold.

Oven version:

• Do all of the above, except put in the oven on about 150°C/300°F/Gas Mark 2 for approx 2 hours, and have the chicken standing on a baking sheet/large pan to catch any juices/spillages!
• You will probably need to remove all the racks, and then sit the chicken in the pan at the bottom of the oven.
• Don’t worry about putting a bucket (!) in the oven, just sure you baste during the cooking process.
• To check the chicken is cooked, use the normal practice of checking at the widest point of the leg with a knife or skewer and look for clear juices.
