Nothing happens to the paint on the can, it doesn't get that hot. Here is the correct way to do drunk chicken:

Take an empty beer can and cut the top out of it. Fill it up with whatever you like, I usually use about 1/2 beer, 1/2 marinade.

Set the can on the grill and then put the chicken on the can. When the chicken falls over, he is drunk and it is ready(when the leg tendons are finished cooking, they break, that is when it falls over).

Went to pry the best party I'd been to in several years. Not sure why it all work out so well. The weather was fantastic, the 600 was on, and the company was great.

Had lotsa meats.

What was really surprising is my wife had never tried alcohol before, so thought shots of tequila were a perfect drink to start with. The results were pretty evident.

Lobster, steamers, chicken, ribs, steak tips, and corn.

I didn't offer her the shots Gun, that was her choice. Pry should have some Boonsfarm on hand though in case she gets a bad idea again.

Now for the Ribeyes and playoffs tonight, do it all over again. Gee, life is hard.

Shots are the best way.

It's all those additives that hurt. Best to go with 100% agave.

LOL THE BEER CAN GOES IN THE CHICKEN'S BUTT....NOT YOURS LOL.

If you bird is seriously coming out dry try basting it every hour w/ beer or virgin olive oil. That seems to do the trick w/ mine. Its 4PM here and I got about an hour left. Bird's at 168 degrees.

I'm pretty sure I can find pictures of this maneuver, but I hesitate to look.

I assume you mean poignant.

Do you have to dig or what? I don't get it, or what it has to do with what's cooking.

Actually it was your suggestion - using virgin olive oil- that seemed to do the trick. The chicken is still dry, but at least now I can sit down while I eat it.

Thanks.

to your Uncle!

I'll toast a beer in his honor at my BBQ.

Creamo, thanks for the pic of your wife. She is a cuttie pie, but nonetheless has a very determined look on her face. Now I understand why you are the way you are on here sometimes. I strongly recommend taking back the leadership position at home sooner rather than later.

Nice stuff on the grill as well

Have a great week all. I'm off to Brazil on Wednesday. Another weekend in Rio!
