ASIAN BEER CAN CHICKEN WITH WOK-FRIED BACON BRUSSELS SPROUTS AND HORSERADISH MASHED POTATOES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Pour half the contents of each beer can into a shallow roasting pan, then set the cans upright in the pan.
- In a medium bowl, toss the butter with the Three's BBQ Dry Rub and set aside. Rinse the chickens and pat dry. Generously rub chickens inside and out with the seasoned butter, being sure to stuff some butter under the skin as well. Put one lemon quarter in each cavity and then slide the chickens over the beer cans. Add the orange peels to the pan. Roast for 1 hour.
- Pull the pan from the oven and generously ladle the Orange-Hoisin Glaze over the chickens. Return to the oven and cook until the glaze has caramelized and turned a dark golden amber, about 25 minutes. When done, the internal temperature of the thigh meat should register 160 degrees F. Let the chickens rest, lightly tented with foil, for about 15 minutes. Carefully cut out the back bone of each chicken and cut the breast down the center.
- Serve a half-chicken per person, with Wok-Fried Bacon Brussels Sprouts and Horseradish Mashed Potatoes on the side. Strain the pan drippings and ladle over the chicken prior to serving.
- In a bowl, mix together the chili powder, brown sugar, celery salt, cinnamon, coriander, five-spice powder, oregano, garlic, chile flakes, curry powder, nutmeg, 4 tablespoons kosher salt and 2 tablespoons black pepper. Store in a sealed container.
- In a medium saucepot over medium-high heat, melt the butter and brown sugar together. Add the orange juice, hoisin, garlic, onions, orange rind and juice, lemon rind and juice, lime rind and juice, lemongrass, jalapeno and ginger. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes.
- In a deep saucepot, heat the oil to 350 degrees F. Fry the brussels sprouts until the edges start to turn golden brown, about 2 minutes. Remove with a spider and drain on paper towels.
- In a medium wok or saute pan over medium-high heat, add the bacon fat and bacon. Then add the ginger, garlic, carrots and fried brussels sprouts; stir-fry for about 3 minutes. Add the balsamic and kimchee and cook, tossing, until everything is evenly glazed. Turn off the heat and add the basil. Divide into 4 portions and garnish with Parmesan.
- Fill a large pot with 1 gallon of water. Add the potatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce to a rolling simmer (medium-low heat) and cook until the potatoes are fork tender, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the whipping cream, garlic, rosemary and thyme and in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook until the cream is infused, about 10 minutes. Strain and keep warm.
- Drain the potatoes when they are done and return them to the pot over low heat. Using a potato masher, mash in the infused cream, creme fraiche, butter, horseradish, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper until just combined.

Tips:
- To achieve a crispy and golden-brown skin, pat the chicken dry before cooking and use a combination of butter and olive oil for basting.
- For a more flavorful marinade, use a variety of Asian-inspired ingredients such as soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil.
- To ensure that the chicken is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature, which should reach 165°F (74°C) for boneless, skinless chicken breasts and thighs.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check if the chicken is cooked by piercing it with a fork or skewer; the juices should run clear, not pink.
- Serve the chicken with a side of steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.
