Difficulty: Easy

Servings: as many as you'd like

Prep Time: 15 min   Cook Time: 2 hours  

Ingredients

Whole chicken, rinsed and dried
3/4 (12 oz) can of beer, any kind

The sauce:
1/2 cup real butter
2 Tablespoons sweet Hungarian paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Pinch of cayenne
4-6 cloves fresh garlic minced
1/4 cup parsley

Directions

Combine all sauce ingredients. Rub it onto the outside of the chicken.

Place the chicken on the beer can on the grill. The can should fit tight enough that the beer doesn’t leak out the bottom. If there is room for leakage, you can insert a potato or carrot with it.

Close the grill lid and let it grill/roast for a couple hours until done. The beer will boil and continually baste the inside of the chicken.
