Beer In The Butt Chicken

Beer In The Butt Chicken
It's Not Summer Until A Bird Has Some Beer!
Difficulty: Easy
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cooking Time: 1 1/2 - 2 hours

  Ingredients
2 whole chicken fryers
2 cans of your favorite beer
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp Herb De Provence


Cooking Tools
Disposable baking pan
Oven or outdoor grill

Directions
Preheat oven or grill 375 Degrees F ( I use my convection oven for even cooking). In a small bowl, add; olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and Herb de Provence.  Mix and spread on chicken evenly, front and back.  Place each bird on top of each opened can of beer and set the legs down on the baking pan, so it supports the bird upright. I also use this method on a grill, using a disposable sheet pan, prevents flare ups and for easy clean up.  Cook  from 1 1/2 - 2 hours, depending on the weight of the birds.  Check to see if the bird is done by piercing the the thickest part of the leg and the juices run clear or use a meat thermometer. Remove birds from oven or grill and let rest for 10 minutes before removing the beer can or carving the bird.
