LEMONY BEER CAN CHICKEN

* 1 large whole chicken
* 3 tbsp. Hi Mountain Alaskan Salmon Seasoning
* 1-12 oz. Can of beer

Remove the fat and giblets from inside the body cavity of the chicken. Rinse chicken inside and out under cold running water. Drain and blot dry inside and out. Sprinkle 1 tbsp. of the Alaskan Salmon Seasoning inside the body and neck cavities. Rub another tbsp. all over the skin and between skin and flesh. Cover and refrigerate while heating the grill.

Setup the grill for indirect grilling, place drip pan in the center. Preheat grill to high if using wood chips and then turn back down to medium. Pop the top on the beer can. Make 6 or 7 more holes in the top of the can with a church key can opener. Pour out the first inch of beer and sprinkle remaining seasoning into the can of beer. Stand the chicken up and put on top of beer can. Place on drip pan and arrange the legs for added support. Cover the grill and cook the chicken until it is tender, about 2 hours. Using tongs to hold the chicken and a spatula underneath the beer can transfer to a platter or cutting board. Let stand 5 minutes before carving meat off of the upright carcass. For easy clean up throw the beer can away with the carcass. Serve with Grilled Bleu Cheese Vinaigrette Potato Salad.
