Time 1h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

¼ cup garlic powder
2 tablespoons seasoned salt
2 tablespoons onion powder
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon salt
1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper
1 (12 fluid ounce) can light-flavored beer (such as Bud Light®)
1 (3 pound) whole chicken
4 green onions, sliced
4 green onions, cut in half crosswise
1 (12 fluid ounce) can light-flavored beer (such as Bud Light®)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Mix the garlic powder, seasoned salt, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and ground black pepper in a small bowl; set aside. Pour 1/3 of one can of beer into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Place the open beer can in the center of the baking dish.
  • Rinse chicken under cold running water. Discard giblets and neck from chicken; drain and pat dry. Fit whole chicken over the open beer can with the legs on the bottom. With the breast of the chicken facing you, use a paring knife to cut a small slit on each side and press the tip of each wing into the slit to encourage even cooking.
  • Rub the prepared seasoning mixture to taste over the entire chicken. Pat the sliced green onions around the whole chicken evenly. Some will fall into the beer, that's fine. Press the halved green onions into the top cavity of the chicken. Open the remaining beer and pour 1/2 of it into the pan under then chicken. Reserve the remaining beer.
  • Bake the chicken in the preheated oven. After 45 minutes, pour remaining beer into the pan under the chicken. Continue baking until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 30 additional minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). Remove the chicken from the oven and discard the beer can. Cover the chicken with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before slicing.

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 chicken (whole)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons poultry seasoning
1 can beer (half full)

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • Prepare chicken by removing any giblets, etc, and discard. Rinse the chicken and pat dry.
  • Rub the chicken with your oil. Use salt, pepper and dry rub all over the inside and outside of the bird. Set aside.
  • Pour 1/3 to 1/2 of your can of beer into the base of the roasting pan.
  • Place the beer can directly inside the cavity of the chicken.
  • Place your chicken into the oven and roast for one hour and fifteen minutes. Check your temp with a meat thermometer - you'll want to see 180 degrees fahrenheit in the thickest part of the thigh, 165 in the breast (internal).
  • Let chicken rest for 10 minutes. You can even make a loose tent over the chicken to create a moisture trap. Carve and serve.
