Keeping a Beer Butt Chicken Warm
Anybody have a sure fire way of keeping a Beer Can Chicken Warm AND SAFE for about an hour "IF YOU DON"T HAVE ACCESS TO THE OVEN?"

Chaffing pan, water and sternos. Tent the whole bird and pan and use 2 sternos.OldUsedParts wrote:Anybody have a sure fire way of keeping a Beer Can Chicken Warm AND SAFE for about an hour "IF YOU DON"T HAVE ACCESS TO THE OVEN?"
Obviously tho, unless you take the skin off, it will be soggy.
I've kept a whole bird warm this way so I know it works. In my case, I sacrificed the skin keeping it on so the bird wouldn't dry out. Its possible the steam from the water pan woulda kept it hydrated but I didn't take the chance.
Good luck Emm

You WILL need to rig up something under the pan ur bird sits on.
The weight of the bird WILL collapse it if u don't put something under it for support and you WILL have water Everywhere..
Ask me how I know :):)
I used 2 small Ramekins.

Re: Keeping a Beer Butt Chicken Warm
For just an hour you could Pre heat (with hot water) a cooler and wrap in foil and in a towel. Wouldn’t go much more than a couple of hours or so.
No matter what I’m afraid you will have rubbery skin. Maybe serve it pulled?
Are you traveling with it?

Re: Keeping a Beer Butt Chicken Warm
thanks, Gents, not traveling just waiting on Company and not positive of their ETA yet - - - the only one of those two solutions that is possible for me today will have to be the warm Cooler and Towel because I don't have the Sterno or anything that I can substitute - - - - I also may just time it so "THEY" have to wait for my Bird to finish cooking

I like that last option. They can visit while the bird finishes.
