Or at least one recipe a week in Non Fishing section. I want that chicken one.
I don't really use recipes, but here's the procedure.
1. Rinse Chicken thouroughly with water.
2. Open a can of beer (Can use non alcoholic, or simply fill a can with water or any liquid for that matter) and dump out an inch or so.
3. Place can in cooker, and place chicken on cooker.
4. Sprinkle chicken with your choice of herbs (I used oregano, basil, garlic powder)
5.Remove rack from one side of BBQ and make a custom tinfoil cookie sheet, or use a pie plate or whatever (If your BBQ only has one rack, lift it off, setup tinfoil and add woobchips).
6. Soak your favourite wood chips (I used Hickory) for 30 minutes or so in water. Turn BBQ to lowest setting and place woddchips in tinfoil.
7. Allow BBQ temp to even out, and try to keep it around 175 or so.
8. Place chicken on the remaining BBQ rack.
9. Close the lid and let it smoke/cook until the internal temperature is 160, continuously monitoring the temperature and adding woodchips as needed.
10. Remove chicken and let stand for 10 minutes.
11. Slice and Serve.
The key is to cook by internal temperature, not by a set amount of time. The chicken in the picture took roughly 2 hours.
For those who are not too health concious, drizzle some of the smoke flavoured juice from the bottom of the beer can cooker over you sliced pieces.
P.S. Forward all compliments from your wife to fatluke!!!!
