Avis sur le produitBeer-Can Chicken : And 74 Other Offbeat Recipes for the Grill by Steven Raichlen (2002, Trade Paperback)

Good for BBQ Chicken

Although this book sounds a little gimicky, it is still packed with many quality recipes. If anyone has used Raichlen's previous books, you know the recipes produce outstanding results - and this book is no different. I've tried about 12 recipes so far and they've all been outstanding. The Coca-Cola can chicken is every bit as good as the title recipe. (In other words, restaurant quality, or better)
The majority of the book is beer can chicken and its derivatives. And there are quite a few variations on the theme, almost enough to make you forget that this is mostly a book about poultry on a can full of some sort of liquid. Don't get me wrong, the resulting dishes are varied and spectacular, running the gamut from true American barbecue to Asian, to Indian, to Middle East, etc. - similar to his Barbecue Bible. However, you'd better like poultry if you buy this book. There are some meat, fish, and vegetable dishes (and dessert), but it's mostly poultry on a can.

One plus that the author mentions, and most people will figure out, is that even though it is mostly poultry on a can recipes you don't need to stop there. There are so many rubs, sauces, and marinade recipes in there, you can really be creative and do whatever you like with them. Throw in some good tips here and there and you've got a great book.

Call it 4-4.5 stars, simply because the author's previous barbecue books are true 5 star books that are hard to live up to.

VERY INTERESTING BOOK

I saw this book while shopping at a local home improvement store. At the time I thought it would be and interesting and fun book to own, but didn't want to pay full retail price for it. I decided to check for it online when I got home. I was so excited when I found it on eBay (I knew I would) at a price MUCH lower than retail. When I received it in the mail I immediately sat down and looked through it. It was as good as I had thought it would be. Now I can't wait until the weather warms up so I can get the grill out.Lire l'avis complet...

This book is very informative

we havent tried any of the recipes yet, but we certainly have enjoyed reading the "how to" cook this way. Author gives a lot of information about this cooking method. There are many different variations to choose from. I am going to get another book to give as a gift. Front of book gives names of cookers to aid in keeping the fowl upright. There are many pointers to make the cooking successful.Lire l'avis complet...

No Pictures...........good book

This book has great recipes but the only down fall is that it doesn't have pictures. If I would have known previously I would have not bought it because I like to see how my recipe will turn out to look like.Lire l'avis complet...

Excolente

Just in it a few pages and really impressed for I know nothing and starting off perfectly understanding that we dont know what they do so like at first trying to get our heads ri about how our approach for doing the cooking to what works and what does not and why. Iam sure the rest of book is great. Chow.Lire l'avis complet...
