As the August Bank Holiday approaches, I am ashamed to say that I haven't BBQ'ed once this summer! I plan to make amends this weekend, come rain or shine. I have been told about a recipe for BBQing a whole chicken which has a can of beer shoved up it's ... "rear end". It then stands vertically over an indirect heat for an hour or so. Has anyone tried it???!!! Love to hear what you think

oh my god, u havnt seen the thread on this from last year i take it, frexy the expert, believe me its a well tried and tested and inovative , tasty way of cooking not to mention a few laughs thrown in... go for it i gaurantee it will be the tastiest funniest bird u have ever put to the test!!! lol

Tell me more!! Ive never heard of this ?

See , anything this good does not go away that easily!

oh frexy what we gonna do, make em search the threads or put em out of their misery... your turn, im off to bed, long day , busy weekend, etc etc!!! lol!!!!

LOL, I will point in the right direction, if anyone wants to know about the beer can chicken.........

Chicken cooked with a can of Beer

type that in the search bar and make sure that messageboards is showing, it is one of the best threads we have ever had on here, on a par with the Pinnie one...... and if anyone wants to read that one, it is called, Egads! I've been recalled!

But, hey, anyone new, please believe me when I say we are not all mad all of the time

rustie - are you sure??????

fry the chicken and then drink the beer, keep it seperate i thinks

Ah, DeLeeder, you haven't read the thread have you? or you would see that you can get to cook the chicken AND drink the beer, well sometimes........

Look before you leap my dear lol

Aliz, no not really, but honestly, there are SOME sensible people on here, well there were, where did they go...........

not really sure. glad to see deleeder is back on the scene - providing some light relief from our mad / serious / sensible replies.
- oh, sorry rustie - i was speaking for myself

Re Egads!I've been recalled! I've just read through that very funny thread, and wonder, did Pinwald ever turn up??

No, Kromusdomus, he didn't, so in the end we just ran out of things to say, but it was fun while it lasted, and we, well I for one, hope that Pinnie does return one day.

is it just me or do others think that DeLeeder could almost be related to the great Pinwald?

Sadly I don't think so frexy. No slur on Deleeder but Pinnie's sense of humour was unique and some of his posts almost poetic. *sigh* still missing Pinnie... perhaps we should start FRYUP again.... *sigh*

Well, it sounds as if Deleeder won't be back when he's studying -- surely you'll have access to a computer, especially at uni Deleeder!! What could you start Georgie,Rustie,Mammachef,frexy to encourage him to keep in touch??? Hopefully he'll see sense and keep joining in

ahhhhhhhhh. it is all beginning to make sense.

ROFL! I found the chicken and beer can on here last year and have made it a couple of times. Scrummy! Mind you, since the first time I've always done it sober because the chicken didn't half fight back when I was, ahem, shall we say tipsy

Thanks, but ... 'scuse my being dense, but all that comes up is 'Southern Jambalaya'. Am I doing something wrong? Please help - the sun is shining and I'll have to make the most of it and BBQ today!

ps.

Oh no Kromusdomus, I really don't think we should try and distract DeLeeder from his studies, as the mother of a University student, I would feel I was being irresponsible to encourage him to post when he really should be studying.

Frexy, the only likeness that I can see is that Pinnie was a pain in the whatsit when he first arrived, but improved with time!

You need to make sure you have messageboards showing not recipes Missy Moo if you are looking for the chicken and beer can thread

Thanks, TipsyTurvy! His roasted garlic and potatoes looks great too. I'm off to the supermarket now!

err yes, see what you mean Missy Moo, Tony did say the search facility was being worked on this weekend.

Ahhh Rustie, even undergrads need a little bit of fun too My daughter is finishing a PhD and enjoys the odd break from her workload.Besides wouldn't we miss him??

I know all students need a break, and what they do or don't do is entirely up to the individual. However I think that if DeLeeder feels he should concentrate on his studies when he returns to Uni, and not spend time here, we should respect that and not try to entice him back unless he feels he has the time, and if he has the time I am sure nothing will keep him from posting his normal comments.

Maybe your daughter has her own Internet access Kromusdomus, mine doesn't and uses the University computers, but at her University hogging a computer for posting on messageboards etc when the computer could be being used for study, is rather frowned upon.

I really wish DeLeeder well in his next year and I am sure he will visit us during holidays.
