- Place chicken in center standing up on can to cook. Cover and cook for two hours.
- Remove carefully from grill so as not to spill the contents of the can. Remove skewer and beer can, let chicken sit for fifteen minutes before cutting.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Poke holes all over the orange with a fork, and insert the orange into the cavity of the chicken. Place the chicken into a deep roasting pan or Dutch oven, and coat well with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Place the potatoes, garlic cloves, carrots, and onions all around the chicken, and drizzle 1 more tablespoon of oil on the vegetables. Dissolve the chicken bouillon in the water, and pour into the pan with the beer. Cover the pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour; uncover the pan, and baste the chicken with the juices in the pan. Return the pan to the oven, uncovered, and cook for an additional 30 to 45 minutes, basting with juices every 15 minutes.
- Raise the oven heat to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C), and bake the chicken until the skin is golden brown, about 30 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven, and remove the vegetables from around the chicken. Drain off the juices to make gravy, if desired, and cover the chicken with the pan lid. Allow the chicken to stand about 10 minutes before serving with the vegetables.

DRUNK CHICKEN
The most delicious baked chicken with a creamy sauce that goes great with rice. This is the first recipe that I ever learned how to make and is still my favorite meal. . The type of wine used really does not matter. I've tried whites, red, cabernets, etc (a five dollar bottle of wine goes a long way with this recipe). They all work the same, but obviously different color wines mean different color sauces. Preparation time for the rice will depend on whether you use minute rice or the rice that takes about half an hour to cook. Doubling the recipe (using two cans of each soup and wine) can be easily used for up to 5 lbs of chicken. I especially loved this dish while I was in college as it was easy to make, inexpensive, filling, and would make for about 5 or more meals.

Steps:
- Combine flour, salt, and pepper in a large resealable plastic bag; add 1/2 of the chicken and shake until pieces are thoroughly coated. Remove chicken, shaking off excess flour. Repeat with remaining chicken.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add 1/2 of the garlic. Working in batches, add chicken, skin-side down; cook until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer chicken to a Dutch oven. Repeat cooking with remaining chicken.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Cook and stir onion, remaining garlic, and bacon in the skillet used for chicken until onion is tender and bacon is crisp, about 10 minutes. Pour chicken stock into the skillet and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
- Mix beer, orange juice, thyme, and parsley into onion-bacon mixture until combined; pour over chicken. Cover Dutch oven.
- Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is very tender, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Transfer chicken to a serving platter and cover with aluminum foil. Place Dutch oven on the stove and cook over medium heat until gravy is reduced and thickened, about 5 minutes. Strain herbs out of gravy and serve gravy alongside chicken.

Steps:
- 1. Wash the chicken inside and out. Pat dry with paper towel. Lightly oil the chicken with canola oil. Use enough to make the entire surface of the meat glisten, but not so much that you leave a puddle.
- 2. Combine seasonings in melted butter (including minced garlic).
- 3. Rub the outside of the chicken with the mustard. (This is a secret of Cajun cooking. Use prepared yellow mustard to rub the outside of meat)
- 4. Mix beer, and the remaining seasoning together.
- 5. I have a special crock that is made for this dish. I pour this mixture into the center compartment. (You can mix all of this in a beer can on a cooking sheet to collect the drippings.) Either way, you place the butt of the chicken over the beer and seasonings.
- 6. Plug the top of the chicken with a slice of bacon. (Sometimes I drape 4 slices of bacon over the shoulders of the chicken.)
- 7. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place chicken in oven and bake for 10 minutes. Decrease oven temperature to 325 degrees and cook chicken for about 2 hours until juices run clear. The chicken is done when the internal temperature is 180 degrees. Once the chicken is done, let the drunk bird rest for 10 - 15 minutes to allow the juices to settle back into the meat.
- 8. If you happen to have a crock like mine, put rice in the rim and moisten with 1/2 can chicken broth before baking.
Tips:
- Use a whole chicken: This will give you the best flavor and juiciness.
- Choose a high-quality rice wine: This is the key ingredient in this dish, so don't skimp on it.
- Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes: This will help the flavors to penetrate the meat.
- Roast the chicken at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy skin.
- Baste the chicken frequently: This will help to keep it moist and flavorful.
- Serve the chicken with a dipping sauce: This is a great way to add even more flavor to the dish.
Conclusion:
Drunk chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its crispy skin, tender meat, and flavorful sauce, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to cook chicken, give drunk chicken a try. You won't be disappointed!
