Happy Father’s day to all the good dads out there.
We celebrated for my father in absentia (who was driving back from scranton with my mom - happy father’s day, dad. Sorry you had to travel. Hope Ev made good burgers for you when you got back*) by making Kev’s favorite dish: beer butt chicken.
a man and a grill
kissy chickens!
Sides were red potatoes and a halved onion wrapped in foil and stuck in the coals, and a black bean and quinoa salad. Mmmmm….sooooo good!
Hope you had dinners just as good.
* ha! just kidding. my father will NEVER EVER READ THIS!
My dinner was not as good. Too hot to cook, so I heated up the leftover chicken tenders from my lunch. Now I want me some beer-butt bondage chicken, though.
I wonder if my father reads my blog. I set it up so that he could…
Huh.
So… when does Kev get to celebrate Father’s day, huh? HUH?!
Kev can celebrate father’s day when….
1. Barack Obama is elected president, thereby…
2. stimulating a wave of optimism across the country, revitalizing the stock market, dropping oil prices, and overall stimulating the economy, resulting in…
3. a better housing market for sellers, so that we can sell our condo for a profit instead of a loss, so that…
4. we can afford to buy a house with space for more than just us and my husbands giant pile of computer bits
and THEN we can thinking about celebrating the parental hallmark occasions.
Hooray! Grilled beer chicken! Those look like tasty birds.
Hey! That looks like a caffeine free coke shove up that chicken’s ass, not a beer! FALSE ADVERTISING! Geesh!
AHEM! CLEVER BITCH!
Yes, indeed. because we have plenty of beer at home, but none in cans. And as it was a sunday, we couldn’t run out and buy more. So, I picked up a couple cans of coke, we drank them, and then poured some Spaten into the empty cans.
SO IT WAS BEER, NOT COKE! ew, who would cook chicken with coke? No, only HAM should be cooked with coke.
Hooray, Spaten! I heart Spaten - even have a Spaten t-shirt I got at a German bar one night.
I keep swearing I’m going to try this even if I’m the only one who eats chicken in the house. I just couldn’t figure out how to get around the grill lid being so low, but the big-assed hunks of tin foil in your pics reminded me that I should have thought of that long ago.
Those look soooooooo nummy!
