On every one of my radio programs, at the end of the show, I talk about “Health In The Hearth” and the importance of making real food, real simply, right at home.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span>
\nCheck out the preparation for this popular chicken preparation, know affectionately (or not) as “Beer Butt Chicken”.\u00a0<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>
\nTruly this is so incredibly simple to do — you take your bird out of the plastic, remove any innards bag, wash it off, then you’re ready to go.\u00a0<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>
\nOpen a beer, poke it up the SOUTH end of a NORTH bound chicken, and then set your grill to 350. I rubbed olive oil over my bird to crisp-up the skin as well.\u00a0<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>
\n<\/a>The only real trick to this is that, if you’re using a bottled beer with a tapered, long-neck style, drinking end (in other words, NOT a can) it will drift up through the chicken’s neck.\u00a0<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>
\nSo, as you see in this 2nd picture, you have to get some twine, or string or a hefty rubber band or something and truss-up the lower legs so it will hold around the bottle.\u00a0<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>
\nWhen I put this on my grill (my grill has three burners), I put it in the center, with the side burners on high. That way, the bottle was not directly over the flame. I was concerned that the glass would burst at some point. If you have a can, that wouldn’t be a problem.\u00a0<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>
\nSet your bird up on the beer, close the lid, and leave it alone for a good 2 hours. It is amazing; tender; moist; and it doesn’t even taste like cooked beer!!<\/span><\/p>\n
