Here's one that you'll be doing again and again...the very best way to cook a chicken.
Beer Can Chicken Get a whole fryer and a six pack or twelve (cans). Twelve helps to pass the time while the oven is doing its "thing". Set the oven to 350 Pop the top on one of the brewskies and drink half. Take the bird and sit it on the 1/2 can like it's sitting on a toilet. Yup, shove the can right up its butt. Trust me, the clucker won't complain. Pop another top on a brewskie so you can continue to prep while the oven heats up. Rub the bird with olive oil (tenderly). It will like it, especially if you're gentle on the thighs. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder and cajun seasoning. By now the oven is ready for the chicken that's sitting on the can, so put the bird in a shallow pan and pop it in. Crack another brewskie or two while you wait. It should take about an hour and twenty minutes. But, if you're not in a hurry, turn the oven down to 300 after the first 45 minutes. It will give you time to finish the six pack. Hey, I told you to get a twelve, right? Anyway, when the bird looks golden and "happy", and you're feeling about the same way, it's time to take it out. Let it rest for about ten minutes. You can too. Cooking is hard work. Treat yourself with another brewskie (if you bought the 12). Carve it up. Serve with rice and a veg or two. Peas and carrots work fine. Seriously, this is a great way to make chicken happy. Try it and you will be too.

Thanks Mike,
I'll give them a try. Your recipes sound good. Keep them coming. DTS ps...try that pot roast with 1/2 bottle of either pepsi or coke instead of water. You might like it. Last edited by Downthestretch55 : 11-26-2006 at 02:37 PM.

How about some chicken parmesian?
Ingredients: chicken breast (the amount can vary, and some like to use a mallet to flatten out the chicken before cooking[put it between some wax paper if you go this route!!--try both ways for preferred taste) -graded parmesian cheese -breadcrumbs(seasoned or unseasoned) -tomato sauce --pasta noodles --mozarella cheese --1 egg Baking: A) set oven to 350 degrees 1) mix the breadcrumbs with some parmesian cheese in a mixing bowl. 2) scramble 1 egg in a second bowl. 3) rinse chicken (and prepare further if desired--see above) 4) bread chicken in breadcrumbs (after an egg coating) 5) brown chicken in a frying pan ( on medium heat, usually no more than 1-2 minutes per side) 6) place chicken in a baking dish (i like to put a 1/4 inch layer of sauce in the dish before putting the chicken in)... then add additional sauce to desired amount --usually semi-submerging the chicken, but make sure you don't over flow it!!!!) **-I also mix in a little mozarella cheese in the sauce before cooking. 7) place chicken in preheated oven for 30 minutes COVERED 8) after 30 minutes, remove cover and add mozarella cheese to cover chicken and some sauce (again to your personal preference) 9) bake uncovered for another 10 minutes (cheese should be fully melted and slightly browned) PASTA: 1) choose pasta of your choice (regular spaghetti works just fine). 2) boil water with about 10 minutes left of COVERED baking.. I add a little salt for taste and olive oil. 3) boil pasta at about the same time your remove the cover for your chicken. 4) both pasta and chicken should be done at about the same time..Enjoy!

I'll try this recipe real soon. Today is opening day of Buck season here in Pennsylvania (It's seems to be national holiday in this state), I didn't go hunting this year, but a couple of mybuddies tagged a buck. They usually give me a couple of roast, steaks, jerky, and pepperoni after there processed. Hope it's as good as the recipe sounds.
