K, got a whole fresh chicken and looking for a recipe for tonight. Just want to try something simple but different.
beer can chicken!
I knew you were going to say that GG!!
Whoa Mama! That grilled chicken looks fantastic! I'm going to have to try splitting it like that for something different. Can I throw some chicken questions at you?
It's my understanding, and I could be wrong, that fryers are smaller birds and can be used for anything, including frying. Roasters are larger birds that do better cooked in an oven. Hmmm, maybe there are broilers, too??? Anyway, how do these larger birds do with grilling? And of course, laying the bird flat on the grill may differ from beer can chicken, where the cavity can keep it moist.
So, does it really matter which type of chicken you have as to how you cook it? I don't recall anyone asking the OP how big his chicken was.... or maybe I missed it.
How much time do you have?
Put some rice in the bottom of a pan. In a bowl mix salsa or canned tomatoes, sour cream, fresh cilantro, juice of a lime, and I put cream of mushroom soup in mine. Not sure how that one is going to mix in. Add any kind of Mexican spice you want. Make sure there is enough liquid to soak up the rice. Dip your chicken in and lay it on the rice. Dump the rest of the mixture over the rice. Cover and bake at 350 for 1 1/2 hours. Then take the cover off and bake for another 15 minutes or so. It might be good to put some black beans on top now. You can garnish the finished product with tortilla chips.
It's today's experiment so I'll let you know how it goes.
