Revised, redesigned, and beautifully photographed, this updated classic from America’s barbecue guru offers 50 recipes for the ultimate chicken grilling technique—on a beer can—plus brilliant recipes for birds off the can, perfect sides, and even desserts! 

Chicken on a beer can? You bet! When Steven Raichlen, America's barbecue guru, says it's the best grilled chicken he's ever tasted, cooks stop and listen. An essential addition to every grill jockey's library, Beer-Can Chicken presents foolproof recipes for the ultimate poultry grilling technique, plus the perfect sides and desserts—more than 50 recipes in all. The results? The perfect bird, crackly crisp, succulent within—the most flavorful chicken you've ever tasted. Beer-Can Tandoori with yogurt, warming spices, and of course, India’s Kingfisher Lager. Sake Chicken with a wasabi-sesame rub. Truffled Chicken and Cousin Rob’s Cajun Chicken. Other birds on the can: Root Beer Game Hens and Beer-Can Turkey (perched on a 32-ounce can of Foster's). ”Beerless birds” (Ginger Ale Chicken, Black Cherry Soda Chicken), and birds cooked off the can in clever ways—like Stoned Chicken (grilled under a brick) and Welder’s Chicken (wrapped in foil and turned with welder’s gloves). Whether on a can, under a brick, or in the embers, each grilling technique is explained in easy-to-follow steps, with recipes that guarantee no matter how wild the process, the results are always outstanding. Includes sides, desserts, and all new instructions for beer-canning on a pellet grill—with full-color step-by-step and beauty photography throughout.

Title: Fun delicious recipes and a fun read!
Review: Soooo glad I ordered this book! Got a new Weber vertical poultry roaster for the grill (you have to buy one, worth the exorbitant price for the thing) combine it with this great book and voila - heaven in your grill! Bought one for a friend and ordering one for my son...go forth and purchase this and the Weber Poultry roaster and you will DINE TONITE!! (or when they come!) 🙂

Title: Excellent resource for beginner grillmeisters
Review: This book gives excellent guidance for beginner and experienced grillmeisters alike. From explaining the basics of charcoal and gas grilling (laying a firm foundation of knowledge)- to making sake chicken with a wasabi rub - to grilled peaches(!), Steven Raichlen has written a masterpiece of practical grilling instruction. His writing is straight-forward and conversational, and he will improve your skills - and repitoire of recipes - in no time. Why make mistakes and waste your time and money? Read Steven's book and benefit from his experience. Highly recommended for anyone who is just starting grilling, and others who know they could have better results if they just knew what to do.

Title: Good and easy bbq recipes
Review: A nice variety of rubs, sauces and techniques, for the beginner or the expert looking for something different. Not quite the beer can chicken I ate in Chicago, but a delicious start, and I have no fear of creating my own variations with some suggestions from the book.

Review: We love beer can chicken - it comes out with such moist meat, and a lovely skin, with loads of flavour and this is my go to recipe book for beer can chicken recipes. It is easy to use, with lots of recipes for various rubs, marinades, sauces, etc. I have used several of the rubs for other recipes too, like ribs and pork roasts.

Review: I first encountered beer can chicken in an article on Yahoo. I made it the next weekend, although I do not have a barbeque I just did it in the oven. This is perfectly acceptable, whatever the purists may say. Good recipes, on the down side it is very very American, but a great book to own
