This method has been used as early as the 1960's where my father learned it from a group of Mexican migrants while working on a golf course in Brownsville tx. We have pictures of this from the 1970's at family get togethers. This was a popular way for migrants to cook chickens over open fires running a coat hanger or wire to the can top and hanging it on a stick. My father taught this method to many people on the Houston bbq circuit from the 1970's on winning first place chicken on year at the hls and rodeo. You can literally look at the winning dish and see that it predates the 1980's. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.90.75.17 (talk) 19:15, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
