Soak the chicken in salted water for 1 hour. This will help draw any blood out.
Pour 1/2 the can of beer out and place 1 tablespoon of the lemon pepper into the can, then insert the can into the largest cavity of the chicken, making sure that the can opening is facing upright.
Place chicken with can still standing upright into a roasting pan and sprinkle chicken with the remaining lemon pepper. Wrap with aluminum foil and bake for approximately 20 minutes per pound plus and additional 20 minutes at 375°F.
Remove the foil covering during the last 30 minutes to allow chicken to brown.
This may be cooked on a grill or in the oven. Use any type of seasoning desired. This is a versatile recipe and the chicken always turns out juicy and tender.
