beer butt chicken

Well, they weren't actually chickens, and we used pineapple juice cans not beer cans but it is the same concept as my dad's beer butt chicken!

Aren't they cute? haha

This was our fun/creative dinner tonight. We didn't need a whole chicken/turkey so we found some small game hens and used those instead. Then you fill a small can with juice or beer (we put beer in one and then juice in the other) and shove it up the bird's butt. The meat turns out very juicy and tender. It didn't have as much flavor as we had remembered from in the past when my dad has done it but it still tasted great. Thanks dad for the assist on the grill temp and instructions for doing this.
It made a fun mid-week dinner. Sam enjoyed more green beans, cereal and a bottle!
