Spicy Beer Can Chicken

This recipe is an old favorite. I thought we still had the original magazine, but have lost it. For a while I could pull it up online from the Fine Cooking website, but they have shutdown. Luckily the Internet Archive came to the rescue!

Equipment

  • 1 Gas or Charcoal grill

Ingredients
  

For the spice rub

  • 1 Tbs Kosher Salt
  • 2 tsp Ground Cumin
  • 1 tsp Crush Red Chile Flakes
  • 1 tsp Ground Coriander
  • 1 tsp Dry Mustard
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1 tsp Freshly Ground Black Pepper

For the sauce

  • 6 Tbs Tomato Ketchup
  • 3 Tbs Dijon Mustard
  • 1.5 Tbs Molasses I use dark molasses
  • 1.5 Tbs Red-Wine Vinegar
  • 0.5 tsp Tabasco Sauce
  • 1 Tbs Spice Rub

The chicken

  • 4 lb Chicken, whole
  • 12 oz Can of beer

For serving…I often skip this

  • Several Leaves of romaine lettuce
  • 0.5 cup Thinly slices Scallions White and green parts
  • 1 Lemon, zested into very thin strips
  • 1 Orange, zested into vert thin strips

Instructions
 

Make the rub

  • The original recipe suggests doing this a day ahead, I generally don't and it turns out great.
  • To make the spice rub, combine all the ingredients in a small bowl.
  • Set aside 1 Tbs. of the spice rub for the sauce.
    Rinse the chicken and pat it dry with paper towels (Rinsing no longer suggested by food safety experts, so just pat dry). , Sprinkle 1 Tbs. of the spice rub inside the body and neck cavities. Sprinkle the remaining rub all over the skin and rub it in to spread evenly. With your fingers, work a little of the spice rub under the skin. Tuck the wings behind the neck. Cover the chicken and refrigerate overnight (or put it on the grill!).

Make the sauce

  • To make the sauce, whisk together the ketchup, mustard, molasses, red-wine vinegar, reserved spice rub, and Tabasco sauce in a small bowl (or measuring cup, which makes it easier to pour into the beer can.

Cook the chicken

  • If using gas, set the outside burners to medium high and leave the center burner off.
  • While the grill is heating, open the can of beer and poke several holes on top of the can using a churchkey-style can opener. Pour out (or drink) half of the beer. (I find it easier to mix the beer in the measuring cup and pour it all back into the can). Using a funnel, fill the can with the sauce. Gently swirl the can to mix. Put the can in the center of a 10- to 12-inch ovenproof skillet. Holding the chicken upright with the opening of the body cavity facing down, lower the chicken onto the beer can. Stabilize the chicken with its legs so that it stands up.
  • Set the skillet in the center of the grill, or in the area where there’s no direct heat. Put an oven thermometer on the grate next to it. Cover the grill. Adjust the vents or burners to keep the temperature between 350° and 375°F, and grill the chicken until an instant-read thermometer registers 175°F at the thickest part of the thigh, 45 min. to 1-1/4 hours. If the grill temperature is correct, the chicken should start to lightly brown after 15 min. (If using charcoal, check every 15 min. and if the temperature drops below 300°F or if the coals have burned down very far, add a handful of fresh charcoal to each pile of coals.)
  • Carefully transfer the chicken and beer can to a cutting board. Let it rest for 5 min. Meanwhile, line a platter with the lettuce leaves. Using wads of paper towels to protect your hands, carefully remove the chicken from the beer can (ask for help if the can is stuck). Discard all but 1 Tbs. of fat in the skillet and then pour the contents of the can into the skillet. (If the skillet drippings have burned, pour the contents of the can into a clean saucepan.) Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook, whisking, until it has reduced slightly and thickened to a nice gravy consistency, 2 to 3 minutes. Carve the chicken into eight pieces and arrange on the platter. Garnish the chicken with the chopped scallions and citrus zest. Put the sauce in a sauceboat or bowl and serve alongside

Chicken Potpie Skillet Pizza

It’s been a while since I’ve added any recipes to the site. That’s not because we haven’t discovered amazingly delicious recipes–almost every week we’ve found something that’s a “keeper”! Mostly, finding time to post is challenging, and with so many sites with great recipes, I always seem to find enough new recipes that we are don’t repeat too many recipes–when we do, it’s easier to just look back at a few weeks’ menus and pick to best ones.

But I have a few photos from some recent meals and this Chicken Pot Pie Skillet Pizza from Cooking Light was so good we’ve already done it a couple of times.

Chicken Carnitas Daikon Tacos

Chicken Carnitas Daikon TacosTrying new recipes is really the main purpose of this blog. Every week, I rummage around the web looking for new recipes for our meals. Sometimes we find a recipe that we use over and over, though even the most repeated of our recipes has only been re-used 4 times. I am constantly amazed by the variety of recipes out there, and that we’re closing in on 4 years of menus and there’s always more recipes to try.

When we find one that turns out well, I’ll make a note of it, perhaps snap a photo and, for some really great ones, write up the recipe, especially if I’ve modified it a bit. This recipe is one that I almost skipped over because the original is a pdf file (often problematic) and is written to make 48 tacos by a chef at a restaurant–all flags that this could go badly in my hands. But what we ended up with was so delicious that it had to be written up! The flavors and textures were amazing! The recipe below is probably a poor rendition of Richard Sandoval’s Duck Carnitas Daikon Tacos, but wow, they are delicious!

I simplified this a lot–perhaps too much?? Be sure to look at the original recipe and follow it where you want. I am sure duck would be delicious, and I’m not sure what Peking duck is, but sounds like it’s kind of orange-flavored, so I opted for chicken thighs and brushing with marmalade since we had some. You could steep the sauce overnight, but hadn’t read that part and it was fine without it, plus we used ground coriander, and finally grated orange zest, so no need to remove the solids.

Anyway, enjoy and let me know if you try it. I am sure we will do them again and I’ll update the recipe and add some more photos–this was a cell phone shot taken at the table when we realized just how delicious these were.

Simplified Korean Chicken Tacos with Sweet Slaw, Crunchy Noodles and Queso Fresco

Korean TacosI am sure the original recipe from Half Baked Harvest is better, but it looks a bit too involved for a weeknight dinner, and I am not sure what Gochujang sauce is, or if it’s safe for nut and fish allergies. Even with the simplifications we made, this was a definite hit with everyone and we’ll surely make it again.

Not sure what kind of noodles the original really called for, but the store bought fried chow mien noodles worked just fine and didn’t need frying again. Speaking of which, not sure what the deal is with frying the chicken twice as the original called for…we just did it once. And Sriracha sauce worked fine for some kick in place of the gochujang sauce.

Chicken Bulgur Skillet with Spinach

Chicken Bulgur Skillet with SpinachTrader Joe’s has come to town and, while there’s a LOT of stuff that that is not peanut/tree-nut/fish safe, there are many things that we’ve been able to find there. 10-minute bulgur and sunflower seeds being a couple. Now if only we could get them to be better about labeling! Unfortunately, there’s a bunch of stuff that has CYA labeling…salad greens with shared equipment warnings for all top 8 allergens??? And a lot of stuff that’s not labeled for may contains at all. But it’s a start…

I adapted this from this one on TasteOfHome.com: seemed like it needed some more veggies.

Orange Chicken and Vegetables

Orange Chicken and Vegetables

With nut allergies, Chinese restaurants are not somewhere we can go as a family. So when I find recipes that can be made relatively easily at home, I like to try them out. This recipe came from Mommy’s Kitchen, who adapted it from Jamie Cooks. It doesn’t take the long to make, and is really good. The chicken pieces are nice and crisp. There’s quite a bit of sauce, you could reduce the volume a bit if you didn’t like so much sauce.Orange Chicken with Vegetables

Chicken Pesto Tart

Chicken Pesto Tart

The main downside of this recipe, adapted from TheKitchn, is that the kids devoured it and there were no leftovers for lunch! I was savoring my second piece, thinking that the kids surely would be happy with one and thinking of the yummy lunch I’d be having the next day, when they both asked for seconds. This is a quick and delicious meal, the puff pastry might not qualify it as supper healthy, but yum!

Chicken with artichokes in creamy mustard sauce

Dinner a Love Story is one of my favorite sites for meal ideas. The recipes tend to be good, family friendly and relatively easy to make. The site also features stories of their lives, meals, readings, etc. This particular recipe caught my eye, not only because it looked yummy, but because it started with a note from one of the kids about the pains of being a child of a food blogger and having to wait another fiiiive hours for mom to finish taking photos of dinner before they could eat! As you may have gathered looking around my blog, I generally snap a quick shot or two before digging into a meal…Anyway it was yummy and fairly quick to make. I made a few substitutions based on what was on hand.

Chicken with Artichokes in Creamy Mustard Sauce

Adapted from Dinner A Love StoryChicken with Artichokes in Creamy Mustard Sauce

Nestle chicken thighs in the vegetables then add wine and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover. Cook another 10 – 12 minutes.

Garnish with parsley or thyme and serve with a good crusty bread to soak up all the sauce.

General Tso’s Chicken

Frying chicken for General Tso's Chicken

The following is adapted from this recipe at Food For My Family. The coating on the chicken fries up nice and crispy. The original recipe didn’t have much in the way of veggies, so I added some red bell pepper and a bag of stir fry veggies (broccoli, snow peas, etc.). The recipe for the makes quite a bit, I keep cutting it down, and think this recipe has about the right amount, especially with a good amount of veggies. Sorry there’s no picture of the final product with all the veggies added in. Serve over rice–brown if you have time.
