I mean, is it not the most ridiculous-looking thing on the planet? It's a chicken. Standing up. On a beer. But then I took one taste, and I didn't care how silly it looked while cooking—that was a dang good chicken! By cooking the chicken on a can of your favorite beer (or hard cider—like I do here—or honestly, any liquid in a can), you not only keep the chicken moist and juicy, but you also get to impart all kinds of delicious flavor into every meaty bite. You also get to drink half a beer while you're cooking (it's part of the recipe!), which I'm not mad about.
