Beer Butt Chicken is simple, easy and GOOOOOOOOOODDDD !!!!! Fling a little fruitwood on it (apple or cherry) and it makes a good meal.

  • FatBack,
    that looks great...i have two of those identical holders. .. they work great. ..not sure what you put on yours, but we love them rubbed with dizzy tsunami spin (and i put a tablespoon of rub directly into the beer can as well). ...leftovers make for the best chicken salad you've ever eatin. .. great stuff!!

  • mad max beyond eggdome, We are thinking just alike mad max !
    I rubbed this one down with some Tsunami Spin and put a couple tablespoons of it right into the beer can as well, MMMMMmmmmm MMMMMMmmmmm Gooooooood !!! I always eat the legs, thighs and wings for dinner and then make chicken salad out of the breast meat for lunch the next couple days.
    Peace...

    FatBack,[p]That's me too! I love eating the dark meat then and having egg salad the next day and the day after, if it lasts that long. [p]Oh, did I mention that i like to eat some of the egg salad right then as well...

    Mark Backer,
    I always do 2 chickens because I usually end up picking at one if them till it is almost gone, then make salad out of whatever is left and the other bird. Best darn chix salad ever. Gets better everyday it lasts too.

  • JimboBQ,
    take your tsunami spin chicken, cube it up. .. add mayo, some celery, red onion, and a shake of tsunami spin rub. . .mix it up, .. . eat it. ..yummy....add whatever else turns you on: grapes, apple, some shredded carrot, some chopped walnuts or pecans. .olives, the sky's the limit. .. .we like it simple though, the chickin/mayo/onion/celery. . .don't forget to season it with some more tsunami spin though. ..it is probably my wife's most favorite thing from the egg. ...
