Drunken Chicken

1 Whole roasting chicken with insides removed
Thyme
Rosemary
Garlic salt or Garlic powder
1 can beer
1 chicken roaster
1 pan to catch all the drippings to keep oven clean.
1/4 cup vegetable oil


Get a chicken roaster for your oven found at any walmart or grocery store. Clean and wash chicken thoroughly. Make sure insides are removed from chicken. Empty half of beer can down the drain (this is because we don't drink). Place beer can on the inside of chicken. Place on roaster and extra pan to catch all the drippings. Generously cover chicken with vegetable oil. Then sprinkle with thyme, rosemary, and garlic seasonings to desired amount. I use a lot of all 3 seasonings! If you need to use twine to keep chicken in place make sure you soak the twine first in water for about 1/2 hour to 1 hour. Cover loosely with foil and put in oven at 350 degrees for 2 to 3 hours depending on size of chicken. The last 30 minutes of cooking remove foil to get a good brown color on skin of chicken. Make sure you read the instructions on cooking time when you buy the chicken to ensure it is properly cooked. You can also check with a thermometer. Poultry should be read around 175 to 185 degrees on the thermometer when done. This is my family's favorite chicken dish!
