Sundrop Chicken (Beer can chicken)

[Blue Dog BBQ]

I did one last cook for the holiday weekend.
Sundrop Chicken.
I started with a brine for a couple of hours. Then I stuffed salt,
pepper, onions and parsley under the skin.

An afternoon of smoke.





Now the plate. A thigh and leg with some scratch made scalloped potatoes.



I'm stuffed.
Thanks for looking.

Was the Sundrop a part of the brine?

Chicken looks good to me...

Uh.., I'm guessing the soda is some kind of citrus based soft drink. If it's high fructose corn syrup, how does that help brine the bird? Or does its high acidity change the meat?

Just curious. I'd welcome a plate any time. Yardbird looks tasty. Love me some peach wood smoke. Reminds me that I need to get down to an area orchard and get some limbs.

No I used the Sundrop like you would do Beer can chicken.

Finally a use for Sun Drop! When I was dating the wife her roommate was from Minnesota and that's big there. I tried one, not for me. The plate looks great!

Thanks yall. I think I'll go back to using beer. The bird was good but when I use beer it's a little bit better.
