• Rinse the chicken and coat the skin with the entire batch of spice rub. Place soda can containing beer mixture onto the prepared grill and sit the chicken upright onto the can.

ASIAN SESAME BEER-CAN CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place gallon-size resealable food-storage plastic bag in aluminum grill pan. Add 1/2 cup of the dressing to bag. Remove and discard neck and giblets from chicken cavity. Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Add chicken to dressing in bag; remove air and seal. Turn bag to coat chicken, then place bag in pan, breast side down, and refrigerate at least 1 hour but no longer than 12 hours.
• Heat gas or charcoal grill for indirect cooking. Remove chicken from bag, and discard dressing. Carefully loosen skin at top of breast. Place green onion whites, gingerroot and garlic evenly under skin of breast, without removing skin. Sprinkle chicken all over with salt.
• Open beer can; with can opener, make several other openings in top. Measure out 2/3 cup beer; discard or reserve for another use. Place half-full can of beer in ungreased shallow 8x8- or 13x9-inch aluminum grill pan. Carefully place chicken cavity over can, pushing until chicken balances in pan.
• Place on grill over medium heat, making sure chicken is balanced. Cover grill; cook 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes or until legs move easily when lifted or twisted and thermometer inserted in thickest part of thigh reads at least 165°F.
• With tongs and flat metal spatula, carefully remove chicken and can from pan on grill; place on clean cutting board or serving platter. Carefully remove pan and drippings; let cool, then discard. Let chicken stand 5 to 10 minutes. Twist can to remove from chicken; discard can. Serve carved chicken with cilantro and green onion greens, remaining 1/4 cup dressing and the lime wedges.
• To bake chicken, place oven rack in lowest position, and heat oven to 375°F. Place prepared chicken on can in lightly sprayed 8-inch square (2-quart) baking dish. Bake 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes or until legs move easily when lifted or twisted and thermometer inserted in thickest part of thigh reads at least 165°F. Let chicken stand 5 to 10 minutes. Twist can to remove from chicken; discard can. Serve carved chicken with cilantro and green onion greens, remaining 1/4 cup dressing and the lime wedges.

STIR-FRIED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over high for a few minutes. Drops of water should skitter across the surface then evaporate quickly. Set the pan lid and 1/2 cup water next to the stove. Add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan (3 to 4 tablespoons), then add garlic and sizzle until fragrant and wisps of smoke rise from the oil, about 15 seconds. Add brussels sprouts, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and stir to coat with oil. Spread in an even layer, carefully add water and immediately cover.
• Cook without stirring until the water has almost completely evaporated, 4 to 6 minutes. After silent simmering, there will be loud popping sounds that quiet to a crackle.
• Uncover, sprinkle with sugar and soy sauce, and stir for 1 minute. Sprinkle with red-pepper flakes and serve.

ANNIE LAU'S GARLIC STIR-FRIED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• 1. Heat the olive oil in nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant and light brown. Add the Brussels sprouts and turn heat to medium-high. Season with salt and pepper.
• 2. Do not disturb for about a minute, so the edges caramelize, then toss. Leave for another minute or more. If the sprouts have not picked up enough golden color toss again. The more caramelization (browning) you get, the better the flavor (high heat is key!). Be careful not to overcook, though, as that releases that nasty sulfur odor that puts people off Brussels sprouts.
• 3. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
