Ingredients:
3 1/2-4 lbs chicken
1 can beer ( your choice, I prefer to use Heinekin)
salt and pepper
sage
garlic granules, to taste
Directions:
Preheat barbecue.
Carefully place chicken onto to open beer can (you may cut the top off the can of beer if you wish).
Rub the salt, pepper, sage and garlic onto the outside of chicken.
For those who like extra garlic, either half or quarter some cloves of garlic; using a knife, slice some little holes all over the bird and stuff the garlic into those holes.
Carefully place your chicken with the beer can in its cavity onto the grill.
To help balance it, pull the legs of the chicken slightly forward to rest on the grill.
Cook the chicken on low-medium heat for 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until skin is crisp and the juices run clear.
Remove with tongs and let the chicken sit for about 10-15 minutes until the chicken and beer can is cool enough to handle.
Once chicken is cooled, remove from beer can (discard beer can and any left over contents) and slice up bird as you ordinarily would.
