Cooking the same thing the same way all the time gets boring. Sure, you can change up the main ingredient but you really only have baked chicken, baked fish, baked lamb or grilled chicken, grilled steak, grilled pork chops or sauteed chicken, sauteed vegetables, sauteed ground beef. Sometimes you have to mix it up a bit, sometimes y

ou have to be different, sometime you gotta be crazy. What about cooking it on a beer can? Beer can chicken has become quite popular. I even saw Target carrying a wire device that held the beer can and helped steady the chicken on the BBQ. Normally beer can chicken is prepared on a covered BBQ with a whole chicken on a 40 ounce can of beer. Ed decided to go crazy on an already crazy idea. He made beer can game hens. Cornish game hens were placed on normal sized beer cans and cooked in the oven (so yes, they were baked). As funny looking as they were they tasted great! The beer cans should be only about half full of liquid when the hen is placed on top making some pleasurable work for the chef before hand. The left over liquid is then absorbed into the chicken (or the hen) during cooking making the meat tender and moist!
Good weather means its grilling season! Get out there and make some beer can poultry of your own.

I love the idea. I had never heard cooking meat this way but the logic holds. I just have two questions. One - are there better beers to use for this? Two - do you have any idea if this would work with Turducken?
Obviously beer is cans is the only way to go but as to what beers are best, it doesn't really matter. As you can see we used the cheapest beer out there...Feasting on a Budget! Hmm..sounds like a good cooking! More on that soon.
I would definitely need a photo if you are able to balance a Turducken on a can!
