Christmas Dinner by swchappell

Christmas Dinner

Grilling up a whole turkey seemed challenging, and also way bigger than the two of us can eat. So we opted for chicken instead.
That certainly is for me a very unusual way of cooking it ;-)

The chicken doesn’t look too impressed.

It looks like the chicken is enjoying its own source of moonshine!

Looks good
December 26th, 2022  
LOL - looks like he's sitting on the pot :)

Well that’s different! I hope it was good.

Does look a little different. Bet it tasted good, coming off of the grill.

@ludwigsdiana Lol, yes it is I guess. Thank you!
@wakelys Lol, no, not a happy chicken at all. Thank you!
@olivetreeann Haha, yes! Thank you!
@hjbenson Thank you!
@pdulis Lol, well it kind of is. That white thing is a stand that goes into its cavity. Thank you!
@carole_sandford It was great! Though I need to figure out how to infuse some more spice-flavor into it, nothing really penetrates the skin. Thank you!
@rickster549 It did taste great, thank you!
@Dawn Thank you!

I should perhaps have had a bit more description for this - Chicken cooked this way is called Beer Can chicken. Though my wife wouldn't let me use a beer can. Or beer. The chicken sits on a stand (or beer can with the top cut off) with some fluids in it for moisture. Usually beer, but I used some apple juice I had spiced up to try to infuse some flavor. The chicken came out great, but the AJ needed more spices and the rub needed more time to penetrate.

Lol never had beer can chicken but Ive certainly heard of it. We like to try different things maybe we’ll give that concept a go (minus the actual beer can).

@beckyk365 We hadn't ever tried it before, but definitely will again. Good luck with it if you give it a go!

Great shot of an unfortunate chicken!

That’s one wired chicken 🤣

@johnfalconer Unfortunate but tasty :) Thank you!
@rensala That is a temperature probe so that I know when it's done. Thank you!

That chicken has such personality! I’m so prone to anthropomorphism, I’d probably end up reluctant to eat the new-found friend—ha ha
