Ingredients

1 whole chicken

Mrs. Dash Garlic and Herb Seasoning

1/2 can light beer (You can also use root beer or lemon-lime soda, but beer tastes best!)

Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Remove any giblets from the chicken.
Open the beer and pour half of it out. Sprinkle Mrs. Dash inside the cavity of the chicken. Rub the seasoning all over the outside as well.
Line a baking sheet with foil, then set the beer can in the middle. Place the chicken on top of the can so it stands up.
Grill on low for 2-3 hours (or bake at 300 degrees F), until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
Rotate the chicken halfway through cooking.
Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes, then carve the wings, legs and breasts off the can. It should be very easy, as it should almost fall off the bone. Peel the skin off and enjoy!
