The first meat that I ever wanted to cook on a barbecue was a whole chicken using the Beer-Can Chicken, and I've never really given much thought as to why this was the case. Probably something to do with "the boy with a new toy" mind set.
I mean hey - cooking a whole chicken on the grill is just cool! Add in that it's cooked by sitting on a beer can and well... hey - you've got a party in your grill!

In a nutshell, I followed his preparation steps and ended up with pretty darned near the best chicken I've ever tasted - with awesome crispy skin goodness and the most succulent, flavorful meat.
My next adventure is to try his recipe for Beer-Can Turkey, which uses one of those awesome 32-ounce oil cans of Foster's to get the job done.
