Ingredients:

  • 1 (12 oz) can beer or 1 (12 oz) can water
  • 1 -2 tsp olive oil
  • 1 -2 tbsp cavender all purpose greek seasoning (or nature's own or any seasoning of your choice, nothing too coarse, though)
  • 8 -10 cloves garlic
  • 1 tbsp flour
  • 2 -3 cups water

Directions:

  1. Adjust the racks in your oven to accomodate the upright chicken.
  2. Preheat your oven to 400degrees.
  3. Trim any excess fat off of the chicken and tuck the wings back.
  4. Center the opened can of beer in a 10-12 inch cast iron skillet.
  5. Place the quartered lemon wedges inside the chicken and then place the chicken on the can.
  6. Rub with the olive oil.
  7. Jam the cloves of garlic down into the neck cavity and some down in between the breast meat and skin.
  8. Sprinkle your seasoning of choice all over the chicken.
  9. Place your chicken in the oven and roast until it starts to turn brown (about 45 minutes).
  10. Baste chicken and pour enough water in skillet to reach 1/2-3/4 inches.
  11. Decrease temperature to 300 degrees.
  12. Roast an additional hour or so.
  13. Crank the heat back up to 400 degrees and cook 20-30 minutes longer.

  16. Lemons will have fallen out into juices and mash them with a wooden spoon to release their juices, then discard them.
  17. Pour the pan juices into a measuring cup, and skim off as much grease as possible.
  18. (I used a turkey baster to suck the fat off the top).
