There's a recipe for crock pot chicken that's spreading like wildfire on Pinterest. It's basically a few spices, a can of beer and a chicken. The weather is turning hot again here, so cooking on the porch seems like a good plan for the foreseeable future.
Not being a beer drinker, I don't have a favorite. Since Coors is the featured beverage from Smokey and the Bandit, Coors it is. I also opted for Paul Prudhomme's Magic Seasoning Salt since it contained most of the listed spices. Also, who doesn't like magic? I added some fresh pepper and put a lid on it.
Frozen Ore Ida sweet potato fries and sautéed zucchini with sage from our garden was on the side with blackberries, peaches and vanilla ice cream for dessert. Actually, we keep snacking on those blackberries, so they may not make it into dessert.
So was the recipe too simple to be true? No. It was downright tasty. The meat was falling off the drumsticks. It would be a great way to cook chicken in preparation for a pot pie as well. We cooked a cut up fryer, but you could throw in four breasts instead.
There's also some of that three-bean salad marinating in the fridge that includes the first gypsy pepper from our garden...but that can wait until tomorrow.
For the vegetarians among you, I give you Rufus Thomas and a stadium full of folks getting down with the funky chicken. This performance is from the documentary Wattstax that showcases the 1972 music festival. Can you believe that line-up? And at $1.00 a ticket?! Do the funky chicken, y'all.
