The BBQ Pit Boys show you how to barbecue up two tender and juicy 4lb. chickens on the grill, Beer Can Chicken Style. And, it's real easy to do. All you need for this barbecue chicken recipe favorite is two cans of beer (or water if you must), salad oil dressing, 1 onion, salt, pepper, and any favorite basting sauce, such as our garlic butter with soy sauce. Fire up your grill to 325-350f, and in as little as 2 hours you will be dancing right along with the roasters, as their tender and juicy meat falls off the bones.

½ cup minced onion
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. pepper

BBQ DONUT

Imagine one of those amusement park water rides—the ones where you float down a "river" atop one of those large rubber doughnuts, with five other people, snaking under waterfalls and through "rapids." Now imagine you're all facing a flaming grill instead of holding on to safety rails.

This completely insane rig from Germany—called the BBQ Donut—brings that imagined scenario to life.

The BBQ Donut is customizable, with accessories like a sound system, a "chill out" pad that replaces the grill center of the float with a sunbathing platform, and an umbrella attachment.

Don't worry, you won't float rudderless. Looks like there's a small outboard electric motor to keep you on course to Leisure Island.
