  A simple idea, American actually - of cooking a whole chicken on a can of beer.

Classically this dish is cooked on a B.B.Q but I often cook it, on East Anglian rainy days in the oven to equal delight. The beer heats up, releases fragrant steam and permeates that happy chicken, rendering the meat moist and tender with a subtle aromatic flavour – a flavour unlike you’ll ever get from a conventional roast chicken.
