Ingredients

2 whole chickens (about 4 lb. each)
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper
2 12-oz. cans beer

Directions

1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Rinse chickens inside and out; pat dry thoroughly.
2

Mix paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, salt and pepper. Rub chickens (inside and outside) with spice mixture.
3

Pour about 2 oz. beer out of each can. Set cans upright in a roasting pan large enough to hold both chickens without touching. Set chickens so that cans fit inside cavities, legs facing down. Roast chickens until juices run clear, about 1 hour 15 minutes, basting after 30 minutes.
4

Carefully remove chickens from beer cans and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Carve into portions and serve.
