I found a really nice thick cast aluminum bundt pan like this guy is using about a week ago. I bought it with the intentions of polishing it until it shined like a mirror. I think I will just put it to work roasting chicken instead. My old method of beer can chicken is history. This looks much easier.

I'm not sure Bonnie or her bundt pan are going to like those stains, or the smoke at 425°.

Bonnie,
Before you mess up your new pan see this thread from 2/5/2015 about spatchcock chicken. I finally got around to trying it night before last and it turned out great. Crisp skin and all.

And it's a good excuse to use your favorite #10 skillet.

That looks excellent, I'll have to try it. Thanks for pointing it out because I don't remember reading it before.

That chicken looks good but I have been making beer can chicken for years and it's my favorite. My new pan only cost $2 so if it gets some stains I won't lose any sleep over it. I remember that spatchcock chicken post because in my head I called it Sasquatch chicken, it looks tasty.

He said it smokes and it does.
Wouldn't work in my wife's kitchen, but it works great in the bunkhouse with the windows open. Tasted great !!!!

even made some breaded and fried zuchinni in my #10 pan

A few potatoes cut into wedges and scattered around in the pan would probably help mitigate the smoke, and be a delicious accompaniment.

I don't usually turn the heat up that high when I make mine. I was more impressed with the use of the bundt pan than I was with the actual recipe.
