I got nowhere with the link.

All I can say is that we like beer can chicken. We will continue to eat
beer can chicken. No self-appointed internet expert will convince me
otherwise.

Have a great Thanksgiving

That's because you like beer and Denny likes your can.

Basically the case is if you actually use a beer can, your hindering
the cooking or the meat.

Never done it myself, we spatchcock, with an empty nest have been
doing more thighs than whole birds just recenly.

Tried it once, it was OK. Like you, spatchcocked or pieces most of
the time.

It doesn't seem to be true with what I make.

A recent house guest who had beer can chicken here for the first time
ever sent me the link. She said she would have believed it if she hadn't
tasted it for herself.

No one has ever gotten sick from the beer can chicken I serve. I always
use an instant read thermometer.

I just think someone wanted their 15 minutes of fame.

That makes me think you'd cook delicious chicken any way you
try. The beer can isn't doing anything for you, really.

You could try A/B comparisons of beer can vs spatchcocked,
which is how I do it.

One thing I noticed was that after saying that no-way would the beer get to
the temperature required to infuse the chicken, he adds - in a side bar -
about how a Chef at Weber does things differently:

"Then he leaves only about 1 or 2" of beer in the can, so most of the
liquid is in the section of can protruding out of the chicken. That allows
it to heat up to the boiling point so there can be steam."

Now, I am a relative novice (and a Brit, to boot), but this is exactly what
I have been doing all along. It's certainly what most recipes I have seen
instruct you to do.

It seems to me that the guy is making a strawman argument, in assuming that
people are putting a full can of beer up the cavity, and then arguing why
that amount of liquid is going to stop things getting hot in there.

Yabbut -beercan chicken as a stunt might be good for giggles and
showmanship once upon a time but I cannot fathom doing it twice.
Spatchcocking is soooooooo much easier and works soooooooo much better.

Strange - beercan chicken is the kind of thing I do when I'm not trying to
make a show, but just want to cook a chicken. I've found it to be simple,
quick to prepare, and with consistent results. Plus I get to drink the rest
of the can.

As it happens, I use cider (the English alcoholic kind) rather than beer,
but the method is the same.

Same here. I don't much care for chicken. The beer can chicken is
probably the only way I like chicken. My DH gets to drink the beer that
I pour off of the can before I cook the bird.
