Lots of mouths to feed

Chickens
This weekend, we have a seriously full house.  An extra 5 kids and my Mom.  All 8 kids went water skiing and tubing for a few hours while my Mom and I made dins.  We went pretty basic.  Chickens, big tossed salad with veggies, corn, sliced mozzarella and the grilled banana/chocolate combo for dessert.

Take a whole banana with the skin intact, split it down the
middle, stuff with chocolate of choice and wrap in tin foil.  Put it on
the grill just before serving for about 5 minutes.  The skin gets black
and chocolate melts.  Open up the tin foil over a bowl of ice cream and
scoop the banana and chocolate right in.  You really can't beat it.

 I decided the easiest way to make 3 chickens was to cover them with Old Bay Seasoning, get 3 large Coors beers  (24 ounce variety in a can ) and cook them on the grill.

Season the chickens, truss them put ( makes life easier ).  Turn on the grill.  Open up each beer, shove the can up the carcass of the chicken, shut the grill and let it go.  When you remove the chickens, use a pair of mitt as you don't want to screw up your beautiful crispy skin.  Takes about 45 minutes to an hour.

    Is there beer in the can and is it open? About what degrees on the grill sounds like a no frills great way to cook this

      Yes, keep the beer in the can.I cranked up the heat on high but you could definitely take it down tomedium.

    This style looks very familiar…Bobby Flay and a a guest chef a few months back, no? Worked wonders pleasing palates, hope it did the same…

      I wish I had seen the show. Watching TV seems to be something I basically don’t do. I gave it up for other vices.joanne [email protected]

    TV? Oh my…no…LOL…TIVO and HULU provide great virtual recipe books for us when needed. Thanks for posting this and jogging the memory, your birds look spectacular! Hope mine does as well one night this week. Your restaurant picks and recipes can always be counted on to vary our own routines. 😉

    Ha ha! Those seriously look like 3 headless chicken sitting on barstools. Elbows and knees even. Wonder what they’re talking about?
