Beer Can Chicken

What you need:

Large Whole Fryer Chicken

Most Wanted 30 Minute Marinade

Most Wanted All Purpose Seasoning

1/2 can of Inexpensive Beer

Butter Flavored Cooking Spray

Open the entire top of the 1/2 can of beer.  Place 1 Tbls Seasoning into can.  Fill the rest of the can with Marinade almost to the top. 

Clean and pat dry chicken inside and out.  Sprinkle All Purpose Seasoning very generously into cavity of the chicken.  Place Beer Can in medium square baking dish.  Place chicken on top of Beer Can so that it looks like the chicken is sitting on top of the can and that the can is totally inside the cavity of the chicken.  Place the legs of the chicken apart to help secure it in place. 

Spray the outside of the entire chicken with buttered cooking spray and sprinkle the entire bird liberally with All Purpose Seasoning.  Place baking dish with chicken in 375` preheated oven for a hour (times differ depending on size and oven) or until done.  It may be necessary to cover parts of the bird (like the upper breast and wings) or the whole bird with aluminum foil to prevent excessive darkening or burning until the chicken is cooked completely. 

CAREFULLY remove dish and chicken from the oven and place near the sink for easy disposal of excess liquids.  THERE IS A LOT OF LIQUIDS inside the bird.  CAREFULLY remove can from bird and place the bird on your serving dish and allow to rest for 5 minutes before carving and serving.

Hints:  The use of a chicken roost to hold the chicken and the beer can is very helpful.  We use Buster's Drunk Chicken Roost from www.drunkchicken.com
