We had some special canned tuna cans about the same diameter of the store bought tuna and about 2 times higher.

They fit perfectly. We set the can with the spices on the grill first. About five minutes later we set the chicken with the keister holder over the can.

Be sure to spray olive oil over the surface of the bird or it will get too dry. Then about every 12 minutes, I open the grill rotate the bird and holder about 90 degrees around the can with tongs. Then I spray the bird again.

When the wings move freely with the tongs about 36 minutes, I spray the bird again and put pepper bacon slab slices over its shoulders, back and one strip down each breast.

In five to ten minutes, the bacon is done and adds wonderful flavor to the bird. We remove the bird with the rack still in and put it on a wood carving board. Bring it inside to stand for 10 minutes and to drain. We snack on the bacon. Then you can remove the wings, legs and thighs while still on the rack by hand and fork. I pull the the stand from the bird and carve the white meat.

We leave a lot of meat on the carcass and freeze the carcass with the meat in a big baggie. Now we have the chicken starter for some great chicken stew. Brown a couple of chicken breasts in a big pot and add the thawed carcass a quart of water and vegies and in about 30 minutes you have a great chicken stew.

outdoor cooking...is not for everyone

You couldn't possibly imbibe that much....

Well.............I don't knooow!!!!!!

Both of these clowns are teachers, belong to the teacher's union and vote 100% rat.

Later, everytime someone brought the story up to get sympathy for them or to make us feel bad. I would stop the story teller and say these were teachers. If they didn't know not to put unopened beer cans on a hot grill and close the lid, what else don't they know and are passing on to the poor kids. It shuts up the lame excuse makers.

The teflon up the chickie keisters work great in an oven. They cut the cooking time by about 40%. The "OPENED"can with spices, a little beer, and lemon helps to cook the inside and to keep the bird tender. I spray the birds with olive oil every 12 to 15 minutes. A bird can be done in about 35 to 45 minutes.

I put the opened can on the grill and the keistered bird over the can. Then on a grill below I put a disposable pie tin to catch the drippings with about 1/2 inch of water in it. That helps to steam and roast the outside while making cleaning the oven easy.

One of the many reasons that I don't use propane tanks for grilling.

[grannie9]

I did my yob ok.. They went in looking good.. After that, it was out of my hands..

[grannie9]

The recipe and the hints sound very good. I will remember to try them..

Oh...my husbands sister is a teacher and a lib.. She hasn't been around him much tho.. No.. he's not dumb..just likes his Manflattens while he grills.. ;)

[Gabz]

It shuts up the lame excuse makers.

I bet it does.

And on that note I've got to go for a while - time to pick up the yung'un and come up with something for dinner :-)

I see the problem. You used that damn Coors Lite. It is more jet fuel than beer.

[grannie9]

I'm sure you weren't thinking they were Capons? lol

No they were Limes pared and all ready for a nice dripping action.. They might as well have been liquid Nitro..

[grannie9]

Must have been some garbage beer the kids left.. He must have thought it was good enough for the chickens.. It was good enough for those chickens, come to think of it.. ;)

[Grampa Dave]

For your dinner, how about 6 chickens, a six pack of Coor's lite and Granny's sure fire recipe for drunken chicken?! Limes are optional.

[Grampa Dave]

Lemons in particuliar and limes can really burn when the oil in their rinds/peels gets too hot. You might have had a double whammy with the Coors lite.

[glock rocks]

coors light? limes? shhhhhh... you might be giving the terrorists some ideas... loose lips and all.

[grannie9]

I have cooked these chickens like this for years. I really do think it was the Chef and his inattention.. I'll bet he was watching a game or golf..

I think one fell over and the fat on the bird caught on fire and set them both off. While he was watching golf or something... or something.....

[lodwick]

Good grief - that dude is approaching the danger zone!

But there are some genuises out there. ;-)
