The Best Chicken...Beer Butt Chicken!

I was at my cottage a few weekends ago with a whole chicken and a can of beer, and I thought...why not stick this beer up it's butt and barbecue it, that would be great.  And it was!  Maybe a meal with the word 'butt' in it doesn't sound very appetizing, but it was some of the most delicious chicken I have ever tasted.  It was so juicy and tender and flavourful, I'm drooling just thinking about it.  I had only cooked a whole chicken once before, and that was in the oven, so this was definitely an experiment...but it worked out great.  And it was so easy!  I was worried that the chicken wouldn't stand very well on it's beer can stool, but it was really sturdy, and even took the test of my dog jumping up on the barbecue. 
So to make this delicious chicken, here's what you need:

1 whole chicken
1 can of beer
1 lemon
3 tbsp butter
pepper
salt
any other seasonings you like with chicken

Rinse the chicken, inside and out.  Pull up the skin where it's tail would be and insert your finger in between the skin and meat to make a pocket on each breast.  (This is kind of hard to explain.)  Put the butter into the pockets and then squeeze lemon juice in.  Add any other seasonings you would like.  Squeeze more lemon juice on the outside of the chicken and then sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Pour half of the beer into a glass and save it for further use.
Cover a baking sheet in foil, and place the 1/2 full can of beer in the middle of it.  Take the chicken and push it over the can of beer until it's legs make a tripod with it that can hold the chicken upright.  Put the pan on a barbecue set to medium and cook it for about an hour, depending on the size of your chicken.  Throughout the cooking time use some of the leftover beer to baste the chicken with and to cover the pan with.  The beer steam will soak into the outside of the chicken:)
The tricky part is taking the bird off the can without spilling boiling beer all over the place!
Enjoy the chicken, it will be amazing!

Appetizing, isn't it?
