Ingredients
•
2 tablespoons garlic powder
•
1/2 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle beer
•
1 (4 pound) whole chicken, giblets discarded, or more to taste
•
1/2 cup butter
•
2 cloves garlic, smashed
•
3 tablespoons brown sugar
•
1 tablespoon paprika
•
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
•
1 teaspoon salt
•
2 tablespoons onion powder
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2
Spoon garlic powder into beer in the can. Prop the chicken, butt-side down, onto the beer can so the can goes into the cavity. Place the chicken, with the can as a stand, into a large oven-proof skillet.
3
Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat; add garlic and cook until butter starts bubbling, about 2 minutes. Remove garlic and discard.
4
Inject chicken with the garlic-infused butter using a baster or injector until all areas are injected.
5
Mix brown sugar, paprika, black pepper, and salt in a small bowl. Coat chicken with brown sugar mixture.
6
Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
