Ingredients

- Set aside chicken.
- Remove upper racks from oven.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- When oven preheated, take a healthy drink of the beer, leaving about 9 or 10 ounces.
- Crumble bay leaves into beer, in beer can.
- Insert beer can firmly into chicken cavity.
- Place chicken upright in shallow heatproof pan.
- Bake chicken upright until thickest part is 165°F, an hour or an hour and a half.
- When removing chicken from oven, keep upright.

Tips, Notes, and Variations
- A disposable drip pan will save you a lot of cleanup (and a lot of flares on the outdoor grill).
- This is really best on a charcoal grill, on medium heat.
