wifey wanted tsunami spin beer can chicken last night (this is probably her favorite eggfood). .. .tried something a little different though. ..instead of beer, i loaded the can with white wine . . ..added about a tablespoon of dizzy pig tsunami spin to at as well. . .rubbed the bird good with olive oil and more tsunami spin. . .roasted at 375 dome temp, indirect over plate setter till done. .. .dang it was good. . .as much as we love it done with beer, with the wine it was even better. . ..moist as always and with great flavor. ..[p]while this was roasting a did up a potato galette on the stove and in the oven, timed it so that when i pulled the chicken out of the egg, i moved the galette to the egg to finish in there for 15 minutes or so. . ..along with fresh watermellon it was a great dinner. . .[p]btw, i used to use chickens in the four pound range for beer can chicken. . .. but i've started using the large perdue oven stuffer roasters lately in the 7 - 8 pound range. ..they take about 2 hours in the 350 - 375 range to be done, but we are finding we really prefer them. . .they are really moist and juicy, and absorb great flavor from the liquid and the egg. . ..

    Max, Sounds very good. Wine is something many eggers don't seem to use or enjoy as much. I have diabetes and red wine lets me enjoy some of the finer things in life.

    mad max beyond eggdome,[p]i too like the effect of the olive oil. when I do it right, the chicken looks like I put it in a rotisserie. [p]look for e-mail from me direct.

    Jopa,
    i don't think using beer for a beer can chicken is going to measurably increase your carb intake, unless you drink half of it first. ..what i do when i use beer, is to cut the tops off of two coke cans, then add half a beer to each one. . .i.e. 1 beer for two chickens. ...[p]we really liked the white though... think we'll be doing that again. . ..

    Car Wash Mike,
    we've had three days of beautiful baseball weather, and the 'nats' just swept arizona, so we remain undefeated at home. . .it doesn't get much better than that. ...plan on going again in a couple of weeks, and at least once or twice a month through the summer. ..
