Overall
a good kit. Somewhat better than the Nascar car kits I have
built. These trucks also have a nice quick change rear end
if you need one of those for another project, such as a I
used in my 1971 Torino build.
Beer-Can
Chicken: And 74 Other Offbeat Recipes for the Grill - Steven
Raichlen's Beer-Can Chicken tells everything one should ever need
to know about roasting a chicken upright on top of a can of beer.
For those who find that premise strange or silly (Raichlen, in
fact, thanks his publisher for being "wacky enough"
to produce the book), the author describes beer-can chicken as
"the perfect bird, crackly crisp, succulent within ... the
most flavorful chicken you've ever tasted." Raichlen's goal
is to encourage grillers to have fun and use their imagination,
and he presents 74 "offbeat recipes" as starting points.
Notable selections include Beer-Can Turkey, which requires a giant
32-ounce can of Foster's to do the job; Welder's Chicken, a stewing
hen wrapped in aluminum foil and turned with welder's gloves;
Dirty Steaks, cooked right on the coals; and Diabolical Chicken,
soaked with spicy French mustard and which Raichlen makes "whenever
I'm short on time or fancy ingredients but want to impress the
hell out of my guests.
