Ingredients

• 3-4 lb whole chicken
• 24 oz Coca-Cola
• 3/4 tsp salt
• freshly cracked pepper
• 1 can beer

Directions

1. Combine the chicken and the Coke and soak overnight in the fridge.

2. Heat a grill. If using a gas grill, leave one section of burners off and the others set on medium. Remove the chicken from the soda and dry all over. Rub with salt and pepper.

3. Open up the beer can; drink half of it. Mount the chicken on top of the beer car, running the can through the chicken’s cavity until it’s firmly lodged and can stand up on its own. Place on the cooler side of the grill, cover, and cook until a thermometer inserted reaches 160, about 1-1 1/2 hrs. You can baste the chicken with your favorite BBQ sauce in the last 20 minutes or so.

4. Remove the chicken and allow to rest for 15 minutes before carving. Serve with baked beans and coleslaw.
