Ingredients
Whole chicken
1 (cleaned and patted dry)
Flynn's gourmet garlic sauce
1 cup (for marinating)
Beer
3/4 cup (from a can, half-filled)
Instructions
1
Begin by marinating the cleaned chicken in Flynn's gourmet garlic sauce for 2 to 3 hours in the refrigerator. Ensure that the chicken is well-coated for maximum flavor.
2
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
3
While the oven is heating, take a standard beer can and pour out half of the beer, leaving approximately 3/4 cup in the can.
4
Carefully place the half-filled beer can on a sturdy baking tray. This will serve as a base to support the chicken.
5
Once the chicken has marinated, remove it from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for about 15 minutes.
6
Grasp the chicken by the legs and gently position it over the beer can, ensuring the can is inserted into the cavity of the chicken. The chicken should be standing upright on the can.
7
Insert the tray with the beer-can chicken into the preheated oven and bake for 1 to 2 hours, depending on the weight of the chicken, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). A cooking time of approximately 20 minutes per pound is a good guideline.
8
Once fully cooked, carefully remove the chicken from the oven. Allow it to rest for about 10-15 minutes before removing from the can.
