Cervaise - Yep that was my thread you saw it on…It is certainly not bachelor food…too much work 
What everyone has said in this thread is true, I’ll just add that I found the recipe in the Weber Grilling Bible…I was amazed when I saw it. Very interesting…
Oh yeah when I mentioned what we were having for dinner to my wife…and the word ‘Beer can’ was involved in the cuisine…she cringed as well
MacTech, thanks for the introduction to Tako! He’s now my favourite octopus 
In Tako’s show they use a syringe-like device to marinade the chicken with. Wonder if I could just use a normal syringe instead to get the marinade between the skin and the flesh?
Beer-can chicken has become so popular that Weber has introduced the Weber Poultry Roaster, which supports the bird, holds the beer and collects the juices. About $30. Haven’t tried one yet, but it looks very cool.
