Advice
Don't overcook the chicken
Warnings
- The artificial colors and substances used in the can have no regulations. Also, sadly, breweries aren't required to write the chemicals they use on the outside of the can.
- The can gets hot, so be careful when removing it from the chicken.
- The chemicals used to coat the outside of the cans are not subjected to the heat of an oven in the manufacturing process, and could result in chemical reactions subjected to the heat of cooking. Such reactions can be toxic or even carcinogenic without necessarily having a discernible odor.
