Anonymous - October 01, 2003

Ingredients:

3 Large roasting chicken; thawed and trimmed
3 12 oz cans of beer
Camp Chef All-purpose seasoning or Paprika based seasoning, preferably without sugar

How to Prepare:

Set the Keg Roaster over the burner. Pop the top on the beer and pour a 1/3 of the beer out of each can. Place a beer can into each can holder. Cut an opening under each chicken's neck to allow for good heat circulation. Sprinkle seasoning thoroughly over the outside of the chickens and gently rub into the birds. Set each chicken onto a can holder. Ignite the Camp Chef cooker and set temperature to medium.

Cooking times will vary depending on the size of the chickens, weather conditions, outdoor temperatures, temperature of the chickens going into the roaster and elevations. Use a calibrated meat thermometer to check the doneness of the chickens. Check the temperature of the meat after one hour and every 30 minutes thereafter until meat thermometer reads 170 degrees in the breast.

Remember: Drink responsibly. Do not operate Keg Roaster while intoxicated.
