First off, I must say, I am against canned beer with a passion. The whole concept of wasting precious beer by canning it up where it gains a undesirable metallic after taste. Give me freshly drawn beer on tap or keg or bottle and I’m a happy man (The only exception for me is Guinness with their cool widget). However for this BT I had to go with canned beer and it was surprisingly worth it. Here Comes the Booze
I felt like the cheapest drunk buying just one can of beer…
Carlton Draught… pulled by horses… fermented in big metal things… made from beer. I always think of their memorable ads such as this and this. Although this is not one best beers ever it is a decent brew and much better than the other options I had in the canned beer section. I would only drink Carlton Draught when it is available on tap. She has a golden body with not much of an aroma. The taste is very mild and easy to drink with a slight hint of bitters near the end. Can be very refreshing on hot summer days otherwise it is a bit of an average beer.
However something special was planned for this particular can of beer… preparation complete
It was a coincidence that Billy posted this recipe and the next night my mother said she had free range chicken she wanted to roast. I jumped on this opportunity to try and replicate the sexy and delicious chicken that Billy roasted up.
“I would have to say… World Peace!”
Mine turned out to a model in a previous life striking a pose even with something as large as a can being stuffed where the sun-don’t-shine. I actually considered using a bottle for this but then in hindsight it would had been too tall and skinny to give it that nice snug fit. I have to say, giving the chicken an enema was quite an experience and I suggest others to give it a go.
Lucky my oven was tall enough for this haha
Beer Butt Roast Chicken
(from A Table For Two)
Laziness ftw
Check out the tasty tasty breast
This roast chicken turned out pretty much perfect! Beautifully browned and golden with crispy skin and very (very!) tender and juicy meat. Even the breast meat was nice and juicy with the slightly hint of beer flavour to it which made it even better. We only decided on roast vegetables at the last second and only had some pumpkins but they turned out beautiful with a nice brown crust and soft and smooth insides.
Also check out the voluptuous thighs and ass
As I mentioned before, I am a thigh man and I snatched up one of these juicy thighs which were packed full of flavour with each bite. I thought the bottom half of the chicken would not get such a nice and crispy skin without the top being burnt but it turned out very nicely. A very simple recipe that yields in an exceptional roast chook.

that’s more than an enema, i think your chicken is Gay and quite enjoying being “f”…ted!

Hahahhahaha “check out the voluptuous thighs and ass”. You never cease to amuse me, my dear FFichiban. I’ve never tried roasting a whole chicken before, much less roast one with a beer can up its ass.

Hmmm… not sure how this is going to sound but I am a breast woman (chicken breast that is) – so we’d surely get on well together eating this yummy dish.

Your model chicken indeed has its best thigh forward. And I am most definitely a thigh woman =D
