Beer Can Chicken

Step 1

Preheat a Webber, BBQ oven (or oven a kitchen oven) for low heat of around 150 c.

Step 2

In a small pan, gently melt 180 g butter.Mix in 1 tablespoon garlic salt, 1 tablespoon paprika, salt, and pepper.

Step 3

Add the paprika, pepper, salt and garlic (which should be crushed and finely chopped)

Step 4

Discard (or drink) 1/2 the beer, leaving the remainder in the can. Add some of the melted seasoned butter to the can so that its about half and inch from being full.

Step 5

Place the can on a disposable baking tray.

Step 6

Set the chicken on the can; inserting the can into the cavity of the chicken.

Step 7

Baste the chicken with some of the remainder of the melted, seasoned butter.

Step 8

Place the baking tray with the beer/chicken in the oven, and cook for 2-3 hours, or until internal temperature of chicken reaches 80 degrees °C. I suggest a temperature probe inserted into the chicken (in a thick part of flesh, making sure you don’t hit the can).

Step 9

Baste again once or twice during the cook.
