Beer Bum Chicken on the BGE

Beer bum chicken is one of the simplest cooks you can make on the Big Green Egg.  One Chicken (Whole Fryer) rubbed with butter and sprinkled with Don Prudomes Poultry Seasoning, 2/3's a can of been in the can tray (designed to hold the chicken).
Heat up the Egg to about 325 degrees and walk away for about 90 minutes.  When the Thigh reaches about 180 degrees you are DONE.
