Weber's new chicken sitter

[f.j. tedford]

I've been looking for one of these since I saw that Weber had one on the market. I picked up one a Home Depot. Much less fuss than a tippy beer can and cleanup is really great. So far I've used it on the gas grill and the kettle. Thigh was 180, breast was 170 on a brined bird cooked at 350. Really moist and tender with good skin. I will try the WSM next time @ about 300 deg.

I guess Beer Can Chicken is quite the rage now. I saw an article on it in the USA Today. I think I'll stick with the actual beer can. There's just something about that that adds a little down home pizzaz to it.

I've tried the Beer Can method, and I've found I prefer to do chickens brined, spatchcocked ond smoked at fairly high temps. The Beer Can thing just doesn't do much for me. Just my opinion, of course. /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif
