terrafirmay-and Beer butt chicken.

Car Wash Mike

Was going to wait till Tuesday but decided to cook tonight. I'll be cooking on a raised grid at 400-450. Where to test temp for doneness. Thigh at 185? I usually cook parts, it has forever and day with a whole chicken.
Swamp Venom rules on these thing, that I do remember.[p]Thanks,[p]Mike

Car Wash Mike,
hey, going at those temps, you outa try out the volcano chicken thing. . . when you pull it out of the egg, pour some liquour into the cavity and light it up. ..i understand the effect is really cool with flames spouting out of the top of the chicken. ..

mad max beyond eggdome,
I'm sure I'll be adjusting temps accordingly but man, to waste liquour, just not going to happen. How about some brandy, I got some of that stuff laying around.[p]Mike

Car Wash Mike,

Car Wash Mike,
here you go. .. a recipe for thai style volcano chicken. .. i'll bet kaleigh would love to see a flaming centerpiece at the table ....tammy on the other hand, will probably just shake her head and say "who sent you that one? .mad max. .. .figures!!! . . [p]Kai pu khao - "Volcano Chicken"[p]This was a request from a correspondent, and my wife was somewhat
surprised to discover that this is still offered in restaurants.
"Rather complex" was the family opinion.[p]This for once isn't one of my wife's recipes: My mother-in-law
was kind enough to demonstrate this one to us.[p]Ingredients[p]1 chicken, about 2 pounds or a little more.[p]marinade[p]2 tablespoons of kratiem (garlic), minced
half a teaspoon prik thai (black pepper), freshly ground
quarter cup of fish sauce
quarter cup of whiskey
quarter cup of honey
quarter cup of coconut milk
1 tablespoon of red curry paste
2 tablespoons nam prik pao (black chili paste in oil)[p]for flambeeing : 1 cup whiskey[p]Method[p]Mix the marinade ingredients, then clean and prepare the chicken,
and thoroughly coat with the marinade, and leave to stand in a
wok for 12 hours.[p]Remove the chicken from the wok, allowing to drain thoroughly,
then over medium heat reduce the marinade to form a thick sauce.[p]The chicken should be stood upright on an ovenproof plate (in
Thailand a metal disk with a vertical peg attached is used.
Something similar is sold as a "chicken roaster" in America and
Europe I believe), and cooked in a medium oven until the skin
just begins to change colour.[p]Remove the chicken and place it on a flame proof but table-ready
plate and bring to the table. Pour whiskey through the interior
of the bird, and then ladle it over the outside so the bird is
thoroughly coated, then ignite and allow the whiskey to burn
itself out.[p]Carve the chicken, and serve with khao suay (steamed white
jasmine rice), and stir fried green vegetables, and the usual
Thai condiments and the reduced sauce.[p]an explanation of volcano chicken[p]When the chicken is stood vertically on the plate and ignited the
flames coming from the open body cavity resemble the eruption of
a volcano...[p]Hence the name.[p]
