Special Precautions and Tips:
- If you don't have a beer can, you can use a sturdy can of water or vegetable stock instead.
- Make sure the chicken is completely dry before seasoning it. This will help the seasoning adhere to the skin.
- If the chicken starts to brown too quickly during baking, cover it loosely with aluminum foil.
- Let the chicken rest before carving to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the bird.
