Chicken in a Bucket Recipe


Chicken In A Bucket  Recipe

Ingredients

whole chicken
salt,
pepper
garlic
onion powder
whatever spices you want to use!

Equipment

aluminum foil

chicken holder

beer can or beer bottle
large cured steel bucket

(cured = see below)
charcoal lighter fluid                       

matches

pot holders
 

             

Instructions

Place a sheet of aluminum foil on the ground. Insert the beer bottle/can inside the chicken. Put whatever spices you want on the chicken.  Place the bucket over the chicken, making sure that the bucket covers the chicken without touching it. Pile charcoal around the edge of the bucket and up the sides as high as possible (usually about 4 coals high) and on top of it. Put the lighter fluid on the charcoal. Light it up.  Cook 1.5 - 2 hours, depending on the size of the chicken.  I usually do oven stuffer roaster and this one here was on for 1 3/4 hours.


I just got a new bucket... I had ran over my old bucket with mr pickup truck :(
Thought it was time for a new one... When I cure mine I'll show you how to do it..
But basically, you just throw it in the fire t burn the coating off.
