![Beer-Can Chicken [And 74 Other Offbeat Recipes for the Grill] by Steven Raichlen](images/july/beercancover.gif) BEER-CAN CHICKEN
[And 74 Other Offbeat Recipes for the Grill]
“Grilling Guru”
Steven Raichlen returns for a master class in fun with his all
new BEER-CAN CHICKEN [And 74 Other Offbeat Recipes for the
Grill] A Barbecue! Bible® Cookbook by Steven Raichlen,
Illustrations by Jim Lambrenos (Workman; 2002)
An essential
addition to any grill lover’s library, BEER-CAN CHICKEN
features 75 must try recipes that will make eyes pop and jaws
drop. It all starts with the legendary title recipe: a whole
chicken, spice rubbed and grilled upright while perched on a can
of beer. “But don’t stop there!” says Raichlen as he takes
readers through a memorable menu of chicken and other birds on a
can: “Pineapple Juice Quail” to a new “Duckling a l'Orange” (on
a can of orange soda, of course!) to “Beer Can Turkey” (on a 32
ounce can of Foster’s lager).
The second half of
the book focuses on other offbeat ways to grill: on a stick,
under a brick, in a leaf, in the coals... Whether it’s Toad
Style Chicken or Hay Smoked Steaks or Rosemary Tuna Fish Sticks
or Wacky Rumacki, BEER-CAN CHICKEN fires up everything
from breakfast to dessert.
 Like its
predecessors, the recipes in BEER-CAN CHICKEN include
clear instructions, discussions of specific techniques,
insightful tips, and the lively at the grill stories we have
come to expect from Steven Raichlen. Try the title recipe
Basic
Beer-Can Chicken, Duckling "A L'Orange",
Fish Grilled on a Board,
and Steven’s
All Purpose
Barbecue Rub in our Last Licks Section.
Your chicken may be on a can but your guests will put you on a
throne!

BEER-CAN CHICKEN is the fourth book in Steven’s award
winning Barbecue! Bible® series, which combined have well over

 LEGENDS OF TEXAS
BARBECUE COOKBOOK: Recipes and Recollections from the Pit Bosses
by Robb Walsh (Chronicle Books; 2002)
Welcome to
Texas barbecue. They love to make it. They love to eat it. An
they love to argue about it - igniting as many feuds as fires
from Houston to El Paso. Legends of Texas Barbecue
delivers both a practical cookbook chock full of authentic
recipes and a guided tour of Texas barbecue lore and advice
right from the barbecue pit masters themselves. Fascinating
archival photography looks back over more than 100 years of
barbecue history, from the first turn of the century (1900 - not
2000!) squirrel roasts to candid shots of Lyndon Johnson chowing
down on a plate of ribs.
A list of the
best barbecue joints and a month-by-month rundown of the most
influential statewide cook-offs round out this glorious
celebration of barbecue found deep in heart of Texas. Join us at
our Last Licks Section and sample
Barbara Bush’s Barbecue Sauce, an authentic recipe for
Turnip
Greens (made with real bacon!). And the Fort Worth
Star-Telegram’s food editor, Beverly Bundy, shares her favorite
West Texas Jalapeño Potato Salad that’s sure to knock your socks
off!
