Low=-Carb Beer in the Rear Chicken
This chicken comes out tender and juicy. Perfect every time!
Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken, thawed
- Any kind of seasoning or chicken rub
- 1 can beer (I used Next beer by Bud Light, but any beer in a can will do)
Instructions
- Remove one of the racks in the oven and replace the remaining rack on the lowest level.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Rinse the thawed whole chicken inside and out. Pat it dry.
- Rub the seasoning all over the inside, outside and under the skin.
- Pop the top off the can of beer and pour about 1/3 of it into a glass.
- Place the can in the middle of a baking sheet.
- Slip the chicken over the can of beer through the larger opening of the whole chicken. The chicken will roast in the oven in an upright position.
- Place the baking sheet with the chicken in the oven, which can be a little bit tricky. One way to do this is to have a spotter to make sure the chicken does not fall over in transit to the oven. Another way is to place the baking sheet on the extended oven rack; then, place the beer can and chicken on the tray.
- Push the rack carefully back into the oven to begin roasting.
- Roast in the oven for 1-1/2 hours.
- Allow to rest for a few minutes before slicing.
