Beer-Can Chicken

I love to make this chicken and then I use the leftover cooked chicken for another meal. It is so moist and juicy!!! I do use Paula Deen's House Seasoning, which I will include a 1/4 of the recipe of it in the directions section.

• Ready In: 1 hr 40 mins
• Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

• 5 -6  lbs chicken, cleaned and patted dry
•  seasoning salt
•  house  seasoning
• 1  tablespoon garlic, minced
• 2  tablespoons lemon juice
• 6 -8  ounces beer

Directions

1. Remove any bags of organs/neck/giblets.
2. Rinse the chicken, and then pat it dry with paper towels.
3. Sprinkle inside the cavity as well as outside with seasoned salt and house seasoning to taste.
4. Drink/pour 1/3-1/2 of a can of beer, then add at least 1 tablespoon(or as much as you like) of minced garlic and 2 tablespoons lemon juice to the can. This is the time to add any herbs/seasonings your family likes, such as, oregano, thyme, rosemary etc.
5. I then add this can to my beer-can chicken gadget, that I got at Walmart for less than 3 dollars, but you don't have to use one.
6. Preheat grill to medium-high heat on one side.
7. Place chicken over the top of beer can so that it goes into the cavity. I place mine in a shallow foil pan, so that I catch the juices, which then could be used to make gravy or stock. Now place chicken on the grill over an area that is not over direct heat, cover and cook for one hour and thirty minutes or more, as the size of the chicken will determine when it will be cooked through,until there are no red juices, it is done.
8. House Seasoning: 1/3 cup salt, 1/8 cup pepper and 1/8 cup garlic powder. I use this mixture on almost all meats, just love it!
