Beer Can Chicken (2nd Attempt).

Yesterday I made my second attempt at a Beer Can Chicken.  This time instead of a masonry jar I used a beer can chicken roasting rack.  I like to believe this made all the difference.  I used a ‘Kickin’ Chicken’ rub, about 6oz. of Brooklyn Lager and I basted the chicken with butter, oil and some more beer.  The whole chicken took a little over 2 hours on a weber charcoal grill.  I think it could have gone another 15 minutes to make the skin more crisp but we’ll have to wait for football season to test that hypothesis.

Labor Day Cookout

Last Friday we had a Cookout and as before Dan brought a keg of beer.  Some people go to a cookout and bring a desert or maybe a six pack (eight pack if it’s Schlitz) when Dan goes to a cookout he brings a keg.  On the other end of the Kilburg spectrum Jimmy brings unending excitement.

As you can tell in the photos a wheel chair some how found it’s way into my yard.

I refer to this as doing the FDR… too soon?

Yesterday Julie and I hosted our Fifth of July BBQ.  I spent the better part of the day smoking 8 racks of ribs which went off pretty well considering it was only my second attempt (I think they could have gone a little longer).

We had a pretty good turnout, Dan offered up a keg of beer which is never a bad idea, Jen brought cupcakes that were inhaled and there was only one casualty (a plastic chair).  Thanks to everyone who brought food.

A good time was had by all.

  2. I marinated the Ribs for 24 hours with a rub that I had shipped from Dinosaur BBQ in NYC and I roughly followed these directions regarding the grill.
