4th of July Dinner
This is my beer can chicken going into the wood oven. The floor temp was ONLY 550 degrees. I used the stand I bought many years ago. It holds a can...in this case an empty can of Pepsi that I drank and then filled with beer. Put the chicken and beer in on the stand in an disposable aluminum baking dish, added an onion and 4 bulbs of garlic all nicely rubbed down with olive oil.I pushed the burning wood to the back of the oven, place the dish in the oven, blocked the door with bricks (I don't have a door made yet) and set the timer on my iPhone for 30 min.Checked it at 30 min. OOO, a bit crispy at the top and a pice of wood had fallen into the dish. Bummer..... I wanted to eat the onions! I rescued the garlic though.Turned the dish and put it back in for 15 more min.Came out PERFECT! A bit too crispy at the top. Lesson learned: put a foil hat on the top. Also...move the wood so that it can't tumble into the food.It was soooo good! No time for pics....take my word for it.;-)
