Tonight we are having my new favorite thing to eat for dinner (and no it's not the Murph). I had never even heard of it until I met the Murph. It is called Drunk Chicken. I use to laugh when I would see the Murph cooking it. Back in those days I thought he was just being creative with the ingredients that he ALWAYS has on hand......beer!
Basically Drunk Chicken is just a whole chicken with a can of beer shoved in it's you know what. It stands up on the grill and cooks until the beer evaporates up the chicken's butt and then it's done. I think the Murph adds a little seasoning, but he says it's top secret! ( I think it's mostly just a little salt and pepper.) Leave the beer can half full of beer. Drink the other half. Have a few more beers as you wait for the chicken to cook. By the time the chicken is done I don't know who's drunker, the Murph or the chicken!
At first I refused to eat it when the Murph offered it. That was back when I was on a fast food diet and if you couldn't get it at a drive through or out of a box or at a restaurant, I didn't eat it. I didn't realize what I was missing! When I moved in with the Murph, we started eating at home a few nights a week and of course he made his classic Drunk Chicken. I tried it and loved it! It's the moistest chicken I have ever eaten. We eat it at least once a week. If you can get over laughing at a big, naked chicken with a beer can stuck in it's butt, it really is good. Honest!
