A Thai style Chicken BBQ cooked outside in 10-15 minutes. Using an old can, empty beer bottle and some hay.

Step 6 Voila!! Its ready!

Gently blow away the straw on top of the can and kick around the sides to get rid of the ash.

Now carefully!! and i mean carefully remove the can straight up with a couple of planks of wood or some fire retardant gloves.

Inside will be a perfectly cooked chicken with a beautiful dish of juices underneath.

NOW THIS STEP IS THE MOST IMPORTANT. I DONT WANT YOU GUYS GETTING SALMONELLA :

USE A SKEWER TO POKE INTO THE THICKEST PART OF THE MEAT, USUALLY THE GAP IN BETWEEN THE LEG AND CAVITY. IF THE JUICES RUN CLEAR (NOT PINK) ITS SAFE TO EAT
If not put the can back on and some more straw, and cook another 5 minutes.

I used a little too much palm sugar in this one, so it looks burned, but you live and learn,


ENJOY!!!

You could use a turkey. I'd love to see someone do a whole goat or a cow!! In a massive oil drum.

Friendly DISCLAIMER: I will not be held responsible if you set light to yourself your house, pets ect. Or get food poisoning.

Would we get the same result if we put a live chicken in there?

this chicken looks like burn and i think its to much for one chicken maybe you can add 3 more

it does looked burnt, but it wasnt, its just a little black from a bit too muc palm sugar. 3 chickens wouldn't work, firstly because you cant fit three chickens on a beer bottle, secondly, the oil can fits perfectly over one chicken.You could use a bigger oil can if you wanted.......try it, i'd love to see the results!!

And not messy at all...I guess one could do that in a summer camping site to impress the fellows vacationers, or in the mother in laws back garden.... on your balcony? I'm not sure...
I'm just kidding really it's great! (I am impress for sure)

Dude, How many chickens is that? it looks like a couple.... Heey there's an idea could you make an open mesh metal stand so that you can stack a couple of chickens? I mean, how much room do you have in the drum if you were to stack the chickens?

This intro picture is of the hay blazing, the can is in the middle of this fire with one chicken safely roasting inside. I guess if you used an industrial oil drum, you could roast 5 chickens inside.
