3. had to look that up

I didn't know about beer can chicken, but there's an about.com slideshow showing the technique.

The one thing that bothers me about it is the idea of having a can with printing on it in my chicken. They do say that some people use Mason jars. I'd be afraid stuff from the imprinting on the can would get into my chicken.

So am I correct in surmising that the reason for this technique is that the heat from the barbecue gets the mixture in the can hot enough that it permeates inside the chicken, thus giving it additional flavor?
