(PRWEB) July 30, 2005 -- The subject matter of the patents is a device that is selling like hotcakes nationwide under the trademark "ChickCAN" (bayou-classic.com). The device allows a beverage can to be firmly held in place inside a chicken to make "Beer Butt chicken." The gadget can be found throughout the country at stores such as Wal-Mart, Lowe's, and Home Depot. Many other retailers such as Krogers and HEB are getting into the act as the popularity of "Beer Butt chicken" is increasing.

One of the hippest, hottest and most unique-looking BBQ recipe of the season, "Beer Butt chicken" is an incredibly easy-to-prepare recipe with a unique appearance that yields up chicken that is lip-smacking, incredibly moist, and virtually unmatched flavor and texture.

Beer Butt chicken has received rave reviews on the Today Show and Regis and Kelly Live!. And non-beer drinkers neednt dismay. The recipe works just as well with virtually any type of NON-DIET beverage, including sodas and juices. The trick is to make sure that the can, inserted in the posterior end of the bird, is at least half-filled with liquid, which seasons and moistens the chicken with flavorful steam.
