This week’s Grill Coach Recommendation is Beer-Can Chicken: Foolproof Recipes for the Crispiest, Crackliest, Smokiest, Most Succulent Birds You’ve Ever Tasted (Revised) by Steven Raichlen.

After the break Steven explains some of the basics of how to cook Beer Can Chicken while giving the listeners enough ideas to put their own twist on it - inspiring ideas like using wine, soda or coconut milk instead of beer. With this fresh take on the original version published in 2002, Steven shares amazing recipes like Chinese style, Peking Beer Can Chicken or Belgium and French style Chicken Carbonnade and many more!

The Grill Coach team had a blast talking with Steven about this fun, delicious and eye-catching style of cooking. You can find Steven at barbecuebible.com or on socials @stevenraichlen!
