How long do I need to cook a 3.8 pound chicken on a gas grill?


Answer
Not me as a source, but what I have:

THRILLING GRILLING AND BEER-CAN CHICKEN ON A BARGE

For years I have been cooking for dinner parties at my friend Craig's cottage on Gambier Island, a tiny spit in the Georgia Straight, thirty miles from Vancouver. Everyone kicks in to help with the cooking and even though we always say "it can't get any better" we always manage to outdo ourselves the next time. When it was confirmed that we'd be taping in Vancouver, I had a fantasy of towing the Toastermobile on a barge to my dinner party Mecca.
When I jokingly suggested the idea to the show's producer, they actually agreed to go for it--with one covenant--that it had to be the last show, just in case the barge sank.

After taping the nine other episodes, we loaded the oastermobile (and our faith) onto a barge and towed it by tug. On Gambier, there's no electricity, and no place to run to for last minute ingredients. But these minor shortcomings were no challenge for the harmonic convergence of eight
chickens, four pounds of asparagus, two dozen ears of corn, six bunches of bananas and plenty of Canadian micro-brewed beer.

Fortunately, the Toastermobile made it back to terra firma safely, which is good news for the future of surreal dinner parties.

Beer Can Chicken (Aussie version)
Q) Why did the chicken cross the road?
A) Because it couldn't remember where it left its beer

1 4-pound whole chicken
1 can of beer
2 tablespoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons of your favorite dry spice rub
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 Remove neck and giblets. Discard. Rinse chicken inside and out-pat dry
with paper towels. Rub chicken lightly with oil then rub inside and out with
salt, pepper and dry rub. Set aside.

2 Open beer can and take several gulps (make them big gulps so that the
can is half full). Place beer can on a solid surface. Grabbing a chicken leg
in each hand, plunk the bird cavity over the beer can. Transfer the
bird-on-a-can to your grill and place in the center of the grate, balancing
the bird on its two legs and the can like a tripod.

3 Cook chicken over medium-high, indirect heat (i.e. no coals or burners
on directly under the bird), with the grill cover on, for approximately 1
1/4 hours or until the internal temperature registers 165°F in the breast
area and 180°F in the thigh, or until the thigh juice runs clear when
stabbed with a sharp knife. Remove from grill and let rest for 10 minutes
before carving.

* Though I've never cooked it, I understand that "Beer Can Chicken" is the
* real McCoy. One guy (of course it would be a guy!) called Steve
* Raichlen - self-proclaimed barbecue expert - even has a recipe book by the
* same name. Coincidentally, he was featured in last week's Washington Post.
* Not sure if this link to his recipes is still current... It contains a
* recipe for Iced Tea Chicken - urgh!
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A10353-2002Jul1.html

Looks like we may have a contest here:-) Well, the Chinese and Japanese cook chicken in tea but I've never heard of doing it in iced tea. I've looked at his recipe and he uses a dry iced tea mix.....yuk! Then he goes on to cook it, which seems to me to be a bit pointless to start with *iced* tea. Or am I missing the plot somewhere???

Notwithstanding all that, I've now collected a bunch of recipes from both sources, mostly BBQ/grill recipes but there is a Frozen Watermelon Marguerita one there as well. Who's doing the July recipes? If you want them, what way shall I send them to you.

I need christmas ideas!! Its time to go shopping already!!?
