KBD has a few. I don't remember which of them has, but it's more than one and they're all good. I can look for them and get back to you later.

Drunken Cornish Hen

Season with salt, pepper, garlic, onion powder, paprika.

OPEN a can of beer. Pour a little into the pan. Now insert the OPEN can into the bird's cavity. It will look like one of the dancing chickens from Peter Garbriel's Sledgehammer video (I am showing my age here). Bake in standing position at 350 until done. Be very careful removing hot beer cans.

I make a great and easy beer can cornish hen recipe if you're interested (little bird sitting on an open can of beer in the oven). comes out juicy and perfect every time.

Would love to hear more recipes

especially any that are stuffed with rice?

I've had whole chickens made with a beer can in the cavity and it's delicious but I always wondered if it's safe? Does the metal leach into the meat? Has anyone poured the beer into a small glass oven-proof container and shoved that into the cavity?

I think the purple spice and spirit has one that's stuffed with rice...

I've done beer can chicken on the grill. As far as I know, it's safe--they even make chicken roasters that hold the chicken ni that position.
