Beer can up the butt, chicken
The time has come to share with you the joys of making Beer can up the butt, chicken (otherwise known as beer can up the hoo-hoo, chicken). So, sit back, relax, and enter if you dare...
What in the world do I do with this?!?!
WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
1 chicken, approx. 5 lbs (inside "stuff" removed)
1 can of beer (I suggest a whole 6 pk - drink the other 5 before you begin)
4 TBSP fresh rosemary - chopped
3 TBSP garlic - chopped (or you can be lazy, and use the jarred stuff, like me)
Olive oil
Kosher salt
Pepper
PREPARATION:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees
Rinse chicken well, and pat dry with paper towels
Mix rosemary & garlic together
Use olive oil to massage chicken (it relaxes, and lubricates!)
Season with salt & pepper
Rub rosemary/garlic mixture well into chicken
Pour half of beer into roasting pan
Add any extra rosemary/garlic mixture to can
Place beer can in the center of roasting pan
Ever so gently push chicken down onto can
Roast chicken for 15 minutes, then turn down to 350 degrees, and cook for approximately 20 min. per lb
Chicken is done when you can poke it, and the juices run clear, or, it reaches a temp of 180 degrees
Take a moment to admire the beauty before you (TADA!)
Carefully remove can, and let sit for 15 before serving
Tell everyone to get their butts to the table
Serve, eat, and ENJOY!
TASTE REVIEW:
This chicken was so delicious! Perfectly seasoned, and sinfully moist! We served it with a garden salad, mashed potatoes, and gravy, and all the plates were practically licked clean! Try it, you won't be disappointed! =)
WORD OF THANKS:
This recipe was brought to you, courtesy of Sam the cooking guy, a San Diego local, with his own, exceptionally cool, show! Make sure to check out his site, and try his recipes - they're good, and easy to make. I've not been disappointed, yet! Thanks Sam!!!

I am so glad this was an 'in the oven' chicken butt recipe and not one of those Weber deluxe. I am putting it on my list to try one weekend soon.

The fact that it's an oven recipe was one of the primary reasons why I decided to try it. I don't do so well, with the grill. Victor's pretty good, at it, though, and he's got an awesome recipe for bourbon ribs, if you're ever interested.

You could try eggs but that probably wouldn't change the taste!
I must say that was some damn good chicken! I sent the link to a couple of friends here at work and Kirks outlook went nuts and started spamming all kinds of people with beer up the butt chicken emails. Most bounced and we are hopeing that they didn't go to customers.
