  • 1/2 can beer 6 ounces of a 12 ounce can, any brand, any variety
  • 1/3 cup paprika
  • 1/3 cup salt
  • 1/3 cup black pepper

  1. Rinse the chicken in cold water and pat very dry, inside and out with paper toweling.

  3. Place 1/2 can of beer in the center of a roasting pan. Position"bottom" of chicken over beer and slide chicken over the can of beer until the chicken is"sitting" upright in the pan. The fit will be snug and chicken will be secure.
