SRIRACHA BEER CAN CHICKEN

Steps:

• Remove the giblets from the chicken and pat it dry with a paper towel.
• In a small bowl, combine the softened butter with the chili sauce. Mash it together to form a paste.
• Rub the entire chicken with the butter paste. If possible, work some under the skin, between the skin and meat of the chicken. Save about 1/4 of the butter paste to apply later as the chicken cooks.
• Pour out (or drink) half of the beer. Also, make sure the beer is at room temperature. Add a few dashes of sriracha to the beer also.
• Set the can upright in a large dish. Carefully place the bird directly over the can. It should stand up perfectly.
• Prepare grill for indirect heat. If you have three heat elements, turn on the outside two and leave the middle completely off.
• Set chicken in middle of grill, so it isn't directly over the heat. Close the lid and cook the chicken for about an hour for a 4 pound chicken.
• Use a thermometer to make sure the bird registers 160°F in the breast and 175-180°F in the thigh.
• Remove bird carefully from grill and let cool for 10 minutes.
• Carefully remove beer can from chicken cavity.
• Slice up chicken and serve!
