Works best if you use a 16 oz. beer can and at academy or gander mountain they sell beer can holder you can set the can in and they work really well......I usually season my chickens and inject them with garlic butter or creole butter the night before and stick them in the fridge

Here is the most simple way to do it guaranteed.

1. tony chachere season the whole thawed bird. Cover whole bird using hands to make sure to get seasoning everywhere.

2. Get your fire started in the pit; Create an indirect heating method. (Don't have the heat right under center of the pit. You will need the center free of direct fire. If you have to have a flame directly under it, don't build it too high. Once coals/wood is cooking and your temperature is between 350-400 your ready.

2. Beer of choice. drink it half way down. Then pour more tony chachere seasoning into the can until it fizzes out of can.

3. Place can on center of bbq grill. Mount bird over can thru the a s s. Make bird stand up straight. Tuck legs to help hold position. Tuck wings as well.

4. Keep a water/apple juice sprayer handy in case the fat on the bird catches fire. Spray to stop fire. If you built the fire right there shouldn't be any direct flame under it.

5. Cook for 45-1 hour. Should be plenty of time. I don't like to poke my bird too much. I look for the skin to peel back from bone and I also look plumbness of breast area. If you have to poke, get a good food therm and make sure your at least 165.

6. take the chicken off and wrap with butcher paper, or just put in a pan and wrap with tinfoil. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes before cutting/carving for serve.

ENJOY.
