Beer
Can Chicken
For
the rub:
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon granulated onion
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 /2 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 /2 teaspoon ground coriander
1 /2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 /2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 whole chicken, 4 to 5 pounds
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 can (16 ounces) beer (tall boy)
To
make the rub: In a small bowl combine the rub ingredients.
Remove
and discard the neck, giblets, and any excess fat from the
chicken. Rinse the chicken, inside and out, under cold water
and pat dry with paper towels. Lightly spray or brush all
over with the vegetable oil and season, inside and out,
with the rub.
Open
the beer can and pour off half of the beer. Set the half-full
can on a flat surface and slide the chicken over the top
so the can fits inside the cavity. Transfer the bird to
the grill, keeping the can upright. Carefully balance the
bird on its two legs and the can. Grill over Indirect Medium
heat until the juices run clear and the internal temperature
reaches 170°F in the breast and 180°F in the thickest
part of the thigh, 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours. Wearing barbecue
mitts, carefully remove the chicken and the can from the
grill, being careful not to spill the beer – it will
be hot. Let the chicken rest for about 10 minutes before
lifting it from the can. Discard the beer. Cut the chicken
into serving pieces. Serve warm.
Makes
4 to 6 servings.
Oh,
and don't forget to drink the rest of the six-pack.

Paczki
(Doughnuts) - pronounced "puch'-ke"
1 1/2 cup of milk
2 yeast cakes
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 cup butter
4 1/2 cups flour
Scald milk and cool to lukewarm. Break yeast into the lukewarm
milk. Beat sugar and butter until fluffy, add eggs, salt,
and flavoring. Add flour and milk gradually, beating well.
Let rise in warm place until double in bulk, about 2 1/2
hour. Punch down, knead and let rise again. Place dough
on lightly floured board, stretch toward you and fill with
thick filling - rose jams, apricot or peach preserves, prune
butter. Fold over and cut into desired size and shape like
a ball, place on lightly floured surface and let rise. Fry
in deep hot fat, turning only once. Paczki should have a
very dark brown color before turning, to insure baking thoroughly.
Drain on absorbent paper. Sprinkle with confectioner’s
sugar.
