I can thoroughly recommend this cookbook.
Chicken cooked by this method tastes wonderfully moist and full of flavour. The results raise the ordinary cheap chicken into a culinary masterpiece.
I did use a small beer can originally (with the top taken off) but at times it turned out to be quite a balancing act to get a small chicken to remain upright especially if you had reason to remove it from the oven during the cooking process.
I have now found a great culinary item which has been made exactly for this cooking method. Incidentally, you don't necessarily have to fill the can with beer. You can use any kind of liquid or stock.

Very good book, but tough to follow up his previous works. 21 May 2002
By Matthew Hanley - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Although this book sounds a little gimicky, it is still packed with many quality recipes. If anyone has used Raichlen's previous books, you know the recipes produce outstanding results - and this book is no different. I've tried about 12 recipes so far and they've all been outstanding. The Coca-Cola can chicken is every bit as good as the title recipe. (In other words, restaurant quality, or better)

The majority of the book is beer can chicken and its derivatives. And there are quite a few variations on the theme, almost enough to make you forget that this is mostly a book about poultry on a can full of some sort of liquid. Don't get me wrong, the resulting dishes are varied and spectacular, running the gamut from true American barbecue to Asian, to Indian, to Middle East, etc. - similar to his Barbecue Bible. However, you'd better like poultry if you buy this book. There are some meat, fish, and vegetable dishes (and dessert), but it's mostly poultry on a can.

One plus that the author mentions, and most people will figure out, is that even though it is mostly poultry on a can recipes you don't need to stop there. There are so many rubs, sauces, and marinade recipes in there, you can really be creative and do whatever you like with them. Throw in some good tips here and there and you've got a great book.

Call it 4-4.5 stars, simply because the author's previous barbecue books are true 5 star books that are hard to live up to.

Love this book! 13 Nov 2002
By "debr@drmworld.com" - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
As a long-time fan of basic "beer-can chicken", I was intrigued by this book and bought it for my husband. Its terrifically original, with lots of unique recipes and variations on the "beer can chicken" theme. (Including recipes for roasting a turkey on a Foster's can and quail on little bitty cans). If you're looking for new and interesting ways to grill, this is a great book.

Easy, quick and great tasting food 1 July 2003
By Alley Vance - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I became interested in this book after watching the TV show BBQ Bootcamp on the Food Network (try to watch that show if you can, it will help you understand the logic behind the recipes). Now that I have the book and have tried some of the unusual easy recipes I am more pleased than ever. The Beer Can Chicken alone may be the best chicken I've ever had. It's extra juicy and a little spicier than I would have expected but VERY GOOD.
