Drunken Chicken

From Paula Deen via Delish.com



Ingredients:
House Seasoning:
1/2 cup salt
1/8 cup pepper
1/8 cup garlic powder

Chicken:
1 chicken (about 3 lbs)
1 can beer (12 oz)
a spring rosemary

Directions:
In a bowl, toss together House Seasoning ingredients.

Preheat grill to high heat. You'll be cooking the chicken over indirect heat, so prep the grill accordingly. Wash and drain the chicken. Coat the chicken inside and out with seasoned salt and prepared House Seasoning.

Open the can of beer and pour off 1/4 cup (or, I don't know, drink it.) Insert a spring of rosemary into the can. Place the beer can into the rear end of the chicken. Place the chicken, standing up, on the grill. Cover and cook until chickens are done, turning occasionally.

Comments:
While pretty simple to make, the chicken took a lot longer to cook on our gas grill than the original recipe said. It has 45 minutes to an hour. Our chicken went almost 2. I figured the time seemed pretty short and planned accordingly though. Nice flavor from both the rub and the beer. And as you can tell, Adam was so eager to get eating I couldn't get a picture before he cut into the bird. :) We also managed to spill quite a bit of beer on the serving plate. Oops.
