Food: Coke can chicken

Summer and barbeque season! YES! I found this recipe from a book I got but I guess this is a quite common bbq recipe in the states. Why I call my recipe a coke can chicken is just because I am using a coke can with my own mix in it, you can also use beer cans with beer in it as many other recipes so suggest.

You need one whole
chicken.

You need

1 chicken

1 empty coke can

Olive oil

1 smokey chipotle pepper

Sweet pepper powder

Salt

Pepper

Mix the ingredients in olive oil and rub it well all over the chicken, also inside.

Rub the seasoning well on
the chicken and place
the chicken in a
sitting position on the can.

The ingredients in the can:

Couple of whisks estragon

Couple of whisks rosemary

Couple of whisk of thyme

Couple of whisks of oregano

2 dl water

Liquid smoke according to your taste (I used 1 table spoonful)

1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar

3 cloves of garlic

Put all the ingredients in the empty coke can.

Place the chicken over the coke can and put the coke can chicken on the grill. In this way the chicken will get the moisture from the liquid in the coke can and all the flavors too. Grill the chicken about an hour or when the breast part of the chicken is 70 ˚C.

Serve the chicken with rice and granite apple sauce. For the sauce use 3 dl of yoghurt and add 1 clove of minced garlic in it. Take the seeds of the granite apple and mix it with the yoghurt. Add some pepper and salt according to your taste.

Bon app and enjoy the summer!
