You want me to put the can of beer, where?

I found this recipe on line, and decided to make it. Steve had heard of it, but I never had. It ended up making a great and easy roast chicken. I did it indoors, since it’s cold and I didn’t feel like grilling. Hope you like it too!!!

Beer Butt Chicken (from Allrecipes.com)

INGREDIENTS:
1 cup butter
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons paprika
salt and pepper to taste
chiken seasoning to taste
1 (12 fluid ounce) can beer
1 (4 pound) whole chicken
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat an outdoor grill for low heat.
2. In a small skillet, melt 1/2 cup butter. Mix in 1 tablespoon garlic salt, 1 tablespoon paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Discard 1/2 the beer, leaving the remainder in the can. Add remaining butter, garlic salt, paprika, and desired amount of salt and pepper to beer can. Place can on a disposable baking sheet. Set chicken on can, inserting can into the cavity of the chicken. Baste chicken with the melted, seasoned butter.
4. Place baking sheet with beer and chicken on the prepared grill. Cook over low heat for about 3 hours, or until internal temperature of chicken reaches 180 degrees F (80 degrees C).
