Beer Can Chicken

This delicious chicken dish is also called "beer butt chicken." The method involves placing a (beer or soda) can of liquid up into the cavity of the chicken, then roasting. The liquid inside the can boils forcing flavour up and through the meat.

Ingredients:

1 x whole chicken, cleaned

1 x beer (of your choice)

Method:

Marinade the chicken (I used peri peri)

Open the beer and drink ¼ of it.

Open up the chicken and place the can of beer inside the cavity.

Cook in a pre-heated oven for 1.5 hours (depending on the size of the chicken)

Please note:

Be careful when removing the beer can from the chicken as it will be very hot.

I turned the chicken onto it’s side and pulled the can out.

Pour any remaining beer into the roasting dish and make a delicious gravy.
