You just can't find conversation like this, anywhere.
And hey, Jess...
Hey, if you can roast a chicken by sticking a can of Coke up its butt (as a nonalcoholic alternative to beer), then you can glaze a ham with Pepsi.
Not saying I would, but it's not really that odd-sounding.
What now? This sounds silly, but I've never heard of such a thing, before, so I'll ask and be silly. Do you put the actual can in, or a can's worth of?
Well, some consider Chicken Exploded In Your Oven to be a delicacy.
I should have qualified it with "to some."
It doesn't seem odd to me, but then half of my culinary ancestry is midwestern. The other half is responsible for the horror that is lutefisk.
I'm so glad I was born in New Mexico.
Cola is mostly sugar anyway.
And just a *teeny* bit of cocaine.
And if it's not the can, just the soda, how do you make it stay in the chicken cavity?? That's some avian-surgery I'm not up to performing, just to have Coke-falvored chicken, you know? At least limes and lemons come with their own edible containers.
signed,
also does not make bread with beer. It is a thing.
I've been curious since last year -- *what* spice? Turmeric? Thyme? Basil? Garlic?
Melange. The glowing blue eyes compliment the Christmas tree lights.
Do you put the actual can in, or a can's worth of?
The actual can -- the chicken sits on top of it and the beer/soda/whatever flavors and bastes for you.
Beer Can Chicken recipe.
Google hits don't make something RIGHT. I offer you "dirty sanchez" as proof.
You know what, ita? I had managed to completely purge that from my mind, and I mean completely. Even now, I only can remember it's something sexual I never want to know about, ever again. But all the same? Darn you, darn you to heck, for reminding me there are things I don't want to know about. When this dawns on me at two o'clock in the morning...well, I don't know what I'll do, but it will involve snarling, and shaking my fist, westward.
And if it's not the can, just the soda, how do you make it stay in the chicken cavity??
Shove an apple/onion/spherical edible thing in the opening. Roast it breast down. Sew the skin flap up with floss (ok, that's a little far....)
Really though, you just want it roasting and glazing in whatever fluid. It doesn't have to be a chicken filled with coke.
