Up Its Ass Beer Chicken

Ingredients:

• 1 medium Chicken – about 1.6kg
• 1 can Beer (any)
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1tsp Black Pepper
• 1 tsp Cayenne Pepper
• 1 tbs Paprika
• Lemon Juice

Directions:

• Mix together 1/2 cup beer, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper and paprika.
• Rub chicken with the seasoned beer. Leave for at least 30 mins.
  
  
  
• Preheat oven to 220°C.
• Stuff the remaining can beer up the chicken’s ass.

• Pour the beer used to rub the chicken in the roasting pan. Place chicken standing on roasting pan (beer can as support).
• Place roasting pan on the bottommost rack. Roast for 15 mins at 220°C.
• Reduce heat to 150°C and roast for another 1 hour 15 min(Normally about 45 mins per kg).

• Cover the chicken and let rest for 10 minutes before carving.

For gravy:

• Squeeze a bit of lemon juice to pan juices. (The amount depends on how sour you want the sauce to be, I would suggest adding about a quarter of a lemon's juice first and taste.)
• Adjust taste (for more beer taste and to reduce saltiness) using remaining beer in can.
