Any other fans of this idiot-proof way of cooking a chicken on a grill? My effort last night was picture perfect, thanks to a few new idea taken from the PBS show "America's Test Kitchen."
1. Use a drip pan and put the coals on either side of this.
2. Orient the standing upright bird with the wings facing the coals.
3. Try putting a bay leaf into the beer can before ramming same up the chicken's body cavity.
What I couldn't try this time was water-soaked wood chips, wrapped in foil, to generate steam. The grocery doesn't sell wood suitable for cooking. Oh well. Summer has just started. Next time!
