Ingredients

3 pound chicken

seasoning salt

12 oz. beer

1 sprig fresh rosemary

Directions

Wash and pat dry the chicken. Season the outside with seasoning salt. (if you like other herbs, this is the time to sprinkle them on)

If cooking with charcoal, lay the charcoal in a circle leaving the center open. Light and let cook down to glowing.

Grab the beer, now pour off 1/4 cup (I prefer to drink mine, BONUS)

Insert the sprig of rosemary into the can of beer.

Insert the can (keep upright) into the chicken cavity. Place chicken supported on beer can in center of grill.

Occasionally rotate chicken. Check often, chicken is done when juices run clear when pierced with fork. It takes about 1 hour total

Carefully dischard the can and cut chicken into halfs or quarters

I love beer-in-the-rear chicken!! Always a hit with the guests.
I suggest rubbing on lots of oregano, i do that and it adds so much flavour. Nice post.

I have made this many times...I have to admit, though, I always feel a little "funny" when I put the bird on the can; like we need to be introduced first :)

Yikes....can't believe I said that!

It is fairly 'rude' and invasive on our part....but once you taste how juicy and tender it makes it....all quilt is out the wind....

This makes the moistest chicken ever. I baste mine with a mixture of 1/2 cup melted butter mixxed with 2 tablespoons garlic powder, n 2 tablespoons paprika. I brush this all over the chicken after placed on can n grill.

Plug the neck of the chicken with a half an onion. Chop the rest very finely and put some in the cavity of the bird. I have a vertical chicken roaster that I place the chicken on. (Got it at Walmart.) I set the roaster in a disposable pie pan, and then sprinkle chopped onion around the bottom. This is THE best way to roast a chicken!! It comes out juicy, moist, and tender. When the weather is not conducive to grilling, I roast it in the oven at 350 degrees.
