Beer-butt chicken

I'm a simple type of guy who likes to make food that's relatively simple. The other night, i made beer-butt chicken.

It's great, cheap, and super easy.

Ingredients
1 whole chicken fryer
Chicken Rub (any kind, Emeril, Lawry’s is especially good and local)
1 can of beer (1/2 – 3/4 full)

Directions

  1. Remove the insides from the chicken
  2. Wash inside and out with cold water, pat dry
  3. Apply rub to the chicken (before you apply the rub, you can coat the skin with some softened butter if you want...mmmm butter)
  4. Insert the can of beer into the chicken
  5. Stand the chicken upright in a baking dish/pan, use the beer can to balance it
  6. Cook at 350 for 1 ¼ -2 hrs (These are oven instructions. Also, if you have 3 hours It’s even better at a low heat on the grill or in the oven at 225-250)
  7. Cook to internal temp of 180.
