Drunken Chicken !

Ingredients
1 whole chicken 5lb
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons of your favorite dry spice rub ( eg. Cajun)
1 can beer
Directions
Remove neck and giblets from chicken and discard. Rinse chicken inside and out, and pat dry with paper towels. Rub chicken lightly with oil then rub inside and out with salt, pepper and dry rub. Set aside.

Open beer can and take several gulps (make them big gulps so that the can is half full). Place beer can on a solid surface. Grabbing a chicken leg in each hand, plunk the bird cavity over the beer can. Transfer the bird-on-a-can to your baking tray and place in the center of the oven, balancing the bird on its 2 legs and the can like a tripod.

Cook the chicken at 180 gegrees Celsius ( or in kettle BBQ with the cover on), for approximately 1 1/2 hours or until the internal temperature registers 165 degrees F in the breast area and 180 degrees F in the thigh, or until the thigh juice runs clear when stabbed with a sharp knife. Remove from oven/BBQ and let rest for 10 minutes before carving.

Think this is totally cool and plan to try it out this week. Will let you know how I get on !
