1. Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken dry. Remove any excess fat and truss the legs together.
2. Season: Rub the chicken all over with olive oil. In a small bowl, mix together seasonings then distribute evenly over the chicken.
3. Prepare the can: Open the can of IPA and pour out a little if needed (drinking it is the preferred method to avoid waste). Place on a baking sheet or roasting pan.
4. Assemble: Carefully place the chicken over the can so it sits upright with the can inside the bird cavity.
5. Grill or roast: Cook at 350°F/175°C for about 75 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F/64°C in the thickest part of the breast.
6. Carefully remove the chicken and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.
Chef's Tip: Pair with grilled veggies, corn on the cob, or a light summer salad.
