Notes
Tip
It’s really a good idea to use a nice large free-range bird for this recipe.
Tip
The bird usually only falls over if you overcook it.
Tip
Some specialty barbeque shops have a rack that supports the chicken and the beer can and stops it from falling over.You can make a homemade one by squashing tin foil into a support ring to go around the can.
Variation
This is a great recipe for the hooded barbeque.
