I spray my chicken with a mixture of 2 cups apple cider and 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar. This adds moisture to the crisp skin, but will require an additional 15 to 30 minutes of cooking time. —Steve Bath, Lincoln, Nebraska

My sister and I made this while camping in the Pacific Northwest. Since my sister has food allergies (sulfites) we used All Natural Sierra Mist (the one soda she can drink). I also used a spice rub with rosemary and garlic salt. Of course, it rained on our chicken, and almost put the barbecue out, but the chicken was the moistest and most flavorful that I have ever had! Just need to do it again when it rains...

This is great and moist. It can also be cooked in the oven. I place a small potato in the neck cavity because that holds the moisture inside as well. Easy and great tasting. I like to serve it with my Moms receipe for potato salad and corn on the cob and homegrown tomato slices.

I loved this chicken. So easy and VErY moist. I used a clamato beer and it added even more flavor! I am gonna try it with a lime flavored beer next!

Great chicken. Clay Coyote near Hutchinson makes a pottery piece just for this method.Has a rim to catch juices, a center spot to put the beer in and set the chicken on.Taste of Home should suggest it when they come here for their show this November.

I use a can Vernor's gingerale or 7up instead of the beer, and add 3 or 4 cloves of garlic to the can. I sprinkle sea salt , pepper ,and BBQ spice on the chicken, and place it in a foil pan on the barbecue . I baste with our favourite bbq sauce the last 30 minutes.

Very good and flavorable. We tried the recipe with root beer pop and WOW what a great flavor too. I even heard Dr. Pepper pop gives the Can Can Chicken a different flavor as well. Any way you look at it, It's a great concept to the ole bird recipe.bird !!

Recipe was very good and had a lot of flavor! I would reduce the salt though. I felt it was a little too salty. Other than that, I thought it was very good! Kids loved it!
