beer can chicken or turkey
I prefer a gas grill. The weber beer can holder is well constructed and should last a life time.(My opinion). Check occasionally and add additional stock or water as needed. You can baste the bird with other flavors to use your personal taste. Bird will be perfectly cooked with nice crispy skin and the meat will be moist and never dry. Pour the drippings into another container or place the pan directly over high heat and make the gravy right in the same pan after removing most of the fat. Add a little butter for added flavor. Clean up is a breeze.
