Beer Can-less Chicken & Some Roots

I’m sure by now most of you know that Beer Can Chicken is lame and overrated, not too mention a waste of beer.

However the vertical stands they made for this purpose do have a use......

To hold your chicken [emoji215] in a vertical position (don’t need no stinking can)

This is my favorite way to roast a whole chicken (Turkey too)

Started by dry brining a 6 lb bird with Harvest Brine



After a few hours chillin’ in the fridge, the bird is ready to cook.



Onto the stand



I set up the 26” Weber with 4 charcoal baskets and a hunk of cherry. The rainbow carrots also went on.



Pulled it when the dark meat hit 180


That’ll do.




Clean-up on aisle 5!!



The stand



The chicken being disassembled.




Plated with Garlic Mashed Yucca and Roasted Rainbow carrots

Very nice John Never heard of mashed Yucca before Whats that like

Yucca is a root veggie similar to a potato, but a little sweeter IMHO.
Takes about 30 minutes of boiling to make tender, from there it’s like making mashed taters
