NICK'S FAVORITE GRILLED ORANGE SODA

Steps:

• Cut all of the oranges in half and sprinkle each with 1/4 teaspoon sugar.
• Heat a grill pan over medium to high heat and cook the oranges in batches, cut-side down, until they are a rich, dark brown color, 3 to 5 minutes. Allow the oranges to cool completely.
• Juice the oranges. Whisk together the turmeric and hot water in a small bowl to dissolve the turmeric. Add to the orange juice and stir to combine.
• Add ice to a glass and fill three-quarters of the way with the orange juice-turmeric mixture. Top with a splash of soda.

ROASTED SODA CAN CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove the giblets and rinse chicken inside and out with water. Pat dry with paper towels.
• Stir together butter, brown sugar, garlic, salt and pepper, and half the lemon juice in a bowl. Rub the mixture over the entire chicken, including the cavity and beneath the skin.
• Discard 1/2 of soda, leaving the rest in the can, and pour the remaining lemon juice into the can. Place the can on a baking sheet, and set the chicken upright on the can, inserting it into the cavity of the chicken. Plug the neck opening of the chicken with the onion and a squeezed lemon half to retain steam.
• Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, to a minimum internal temperature of 180 degrees F (80 degrees C). Remove the chicken from the oven, discard the soda can, and cover chicken with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before slicing.
