I'll be the first to admit that this looks funny. A chicken with a can of beer shoved, I mean inserted in it's...I mean up it's...oh hell - you know what I mean. It might look goofy, but it sure is good, and moist.
Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken (about 5 pounds) - remove bag of 'stuff' inside
- 1 can of beer
- 4 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 3 tablespoons garlic, roughly chopped
- olive oil
- Kosher salt & pepper
Directions
- Preheat oven to 450
- Rinse chicken well and pat dry with paper towels
- Mix rosemary & garlic together
- Rub chicken with olive oil and season with salt & pepper
- Rub rosemary/garlic mixture well into chicken - all around
- Any extra garlic or rosemary can be put into the can
- Pour half of the beer into a roasting pan then push the chicken down onto the beer can so that the can goes into the umm, cavity
- Stand the chicken on the pan, with the bottom of the can and the two legs making a sort of triangle support
- Roast chicken for 15 minutes, then turn down to 350 and continue roasting for an approximately 20 minutes per pound
- Chicken is done when you can poke it and the juices run clear - or it reaches a temperature of 180 degrees
- Carefully remove can and let sit about 15 minutes before drinking, I mean eating
