I saw this post this morning and being Mother’s day managed to talk dh and dd into having a go. Not only was it the easiest thing to do but it tasted divine. Plus there’s the added bonus of laughing at the chook and at dd who found the chook sitting that way a bit creepy. It appears that we have been nominated for hosting Christmas this year – guess what is going to be on the menu.

Hi cyn-hehe thanks! I kept laughing whenever I’d see it too My friend M actually had them in her cupboard ready which was certainly serendipitous!

Hi Lilia- Aww I think you might have hurt the chicken’s feelings!

Hi Bob-Hello and welcome! Interesting site you’ve got there

Hi maz-I think every country probably has their own version, using their own beer!

Hi grace-haha cool! And I should tell you that whilst I’d love a koala for a pet, I don’t have one

Hi anamika-Thanks, it provides comic relief as well as hunger relief

Hi Maria-LOL at clacker! That’s very true, it would free up the oven for Christmas, good tip! I think the spices stuck because of the oil which was good. You’re welcome!

Hi Angela-it does, it’s amazing how human they can look! I was worried it was a joke but it really worked

Hi amanda-Haha ok!

Hi cakelaw-I always thought that it was a bit country an idea! I’m sure it would appeal to country blokes

LOL – I remember this from The Farmer Wants a Wife (I didn’t watch it, but everyone talked about it). And hey, it obviously works – a bloody good chook!

The chicken looks like it’s about to drunkenly burst into song!

I’ve seen chicken & a tinnie talked about loads, but never actually seen photographic evidence that it works and isn’t just a colossal joke

Love it Lorraine!

I’ve heard about this recipe before but never known anyone to try it! I love the photo’s..and (wince) re: beer up the clacker part..

Another great idea for Christmas. Especially if you want to keep your oven free for other things.

Your spices seemed to stick to the chicken well.

That photo of the raw bird sitting on its bum, as if to look (headlessly) at the camera is hilarious too!

Thanks for sharing this recipe, I would have loved a piece or two!
