Wait Till You Try These!

I hope you got to try the recipes in the last post. If you didn't, I surely hope you try them real soon. I'm going to list a couple of new secrets now. They are for all those (men) who say that they can't cook. These will certainly make you a star at the family cook-outs or any time you have family and friends over for the evening. They are real easy and SO good! P.S. They will not consume but very little of your time for great results. Ladies, I certainly didn't mean to offend you. You can prepare this dish, too. I was just plugging all the men folks whom think they can' cook anything..

DRUNK BUTT CHICKEN ( OR HEN)

1 chicken or hen (3-6LBS)
1/2 can of your favorite beer (any can of beer will work)
1 BBQ grill
1 pizza pan
1 potato

Heat up the BBQ grill to 350 degrees (use either gas or charcoal grill). Use the pizza pan and put 2 cups of water in pan. Add spices to the water to enhance the flavors you like. Season the inside of the chicken with salt and pepper. Run your favorite spices on the chicken. Take the 1/2 can of beer and stuff it in the butt end of the chicken or hen. Be sure the beer can is inside the butt but leave enough out to support chicken upright. Place the chicken upright on the pizza pan with water. Take the potato in the throat of the chicken. Make sure the potato fits snuggly in the throat. Take the pizza pan with chicken and place on the grill. Close the lid of the grill. Don't open the grill lid for 1 hour. Take off grill and serve.
