Enjoy 1/4 of the Honey Weiss from the can while cleaning the whole chicken inside and out. Rub the chicken with olive oil inside and out, then rub it with your favorite chicken seasonings- inside and out! 2. Insert the 3/4 full can of Honey Weiss with opening at the top into the chicken. (Keep beer can and chicken standing upright.) Once the beer can is inserted, the chicken can stand "at attention" on its own. 3. Make sure your grill position is set close to the flame or charcoal. (If you're using charcoal you'll want to lay an aluminum pie tin under the grill. You can place the charcoal around it. This way you'll catch the drippings from the chicken without putting out your charcoal. If you're using a gas grill, it isn't an issue.) 4. As you grill the chicken, the beer will start to boil. It will foam and steam your chicken from the inside out, which keeps the bird moist and flavorful. Cooking time varies, but when the chicken is done its wings typically rise up and stick out. (It usually takes 1½ hours.) 5. You can place the bird on your dinner table standing upright; it makes a great centerpiece! Then start carving and enjoy with your favorite Leinie's.

Enjoy! ©2012 Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing Co., LLC, Chippewa Falls, WI * Lager What you'll need. • 1 whole 3 ½ lb chicken (cleaned) • 1 Leinie's Summer Shandy 12 oz. can • 1 - 9"x13" baking pan Rub • • • • • • • 3 tbsp brown sugar 1 tsp salt 1 tbsp pepper 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp onion powder ¼ tsp cayenne pepper 1 large minced garlic clove How to put it all together. 1. Clean the chicken normally and pat dry with paper towels. Preheat oven to 425°F and mix the rub ingredients in a bowl. Rub the ingredients over entire chicken, including the inside. Pop open the Shandy can, take a few drinks, leaving about ½ - ¾ in the can. 2. Set the Shandy can in the center of the baking pan. Place the chicken open end (bottom end) over the can. The chicken should fit snuggly around the can. Adjust the chicken's legs so it stands proud and tall. Put the chicken in the oven and bake at 425°F for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, lower temp to 350°F and bake for 50 minutes. 3. Cooking times will vary depending on your oven and chicken. Just ensure that the thickest part of the chicken is cooked to 165°F. Experiment with your own rubs, cooking times, and cooking temps. You can also do this on a grill. I'd tell you the secret about getting the can out of the chicken, but that's half the fun.
