Yield: Serves 4
Cuisine: American barbecue
Ingredients: 1.8 kg whole chicken; 70 g unsalted butter, softened; 1 tbsp salt; 2 tbsp rosemary, chopped; 330 ml lager, one full can

The chicken stands upright on a half-full can of beer so it steams from within while the skin crisps in the heat. Rosemary butter and a salty rub finish the job.
