2. spend a couple of bucks on a ceramic holder, or at least a wire can holder, to keep the bird from tipping over.


I have 2 recipees I really like.
1. Easiest, is to baste the bird with Italian Dressing and season to taste with Lemon Pepper. I like to baste them occasionally depending on what I'm doing, I might pour a little beer on it as it cooks.

My favorite recipee for beercan chicken is the Honey-apple surprise.

Chop 2-3 apples, depending on how many you are serving...put them in a foil boat with brown sugar and cinnemon, roll and let it sit for a few minutes.

Instead of beer, I like to use apple cider as the liquid....stuff some apples into the neck, baste the chicken with honey every 15-20 minutes.....last 10 minutes, throw the foil boat of apples on the grill....baked apples to go with it.

sounds good
