Sizzler – Unusual Barbeque Food

There are some interesting ways of cooking on the Barbeque and one of the most popular recipes is the Beer Can Chicken. It’s easy to cook and stays moist due to the beer steaming inside, whilst draining away unnecessary fats and imparting great flavour. This recipe is best cooked on a barbeque with a cover, using indirect heat.

First of all remove the neck and giblets. Then coat the chicken lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper or any other seasonings you desire. Preheat the barbie to medium heat. Pour out about ¼ of the beer and put the chicken on top of the can with the legs down so that it appears to be standing on the surface. Carefully place the can and chicken on the BBQ grill grate making sure the legs touch the grill to ensure stability. Close the lid and cook for about 1 to 11/2 hours. Remove the chicken very carefully and let it rest for about 10 minutes before carving.

For another unusual recipe why not try fired bread. Breads cooked outdoors are quick and easy. Make basic dough with warm water, yeast, salt and plain flour. Knead it until it is smooth and place it in a bowl, cover with a cloth and allow it to rise in a warm spot for about 40-50 minutes. Divide it into pieces and rollout or leave it in a ball shape. Brush with olive oil and place it oiled side down on a slow grill or over glowing embers. After one or two minutes turn it over. You can also use a camp oven for a more traditional loaf.

If using an open fire you can bake bread on a stick. Roll a piece of dough around a clean and oiled stick and hold it next to the coal coals, turning to bake until it’s done.

So your barbeque can be as versatile as your imagination
