'''cooking on a [[Beer can|beer can]]'''
# Wash the outside of the [[Beer can|beer can]]
# Brush the outside of the [[Chicken|chicken]] with the [[sesame oil]]
# Seal the neck of the bird by folding over and skewering with [[skewers]] or cocktail sticks
# Open the [[Beer|beer]] and toast the start of the proceedings with about a ¼ of the beer - you don't want a full can
# [[Punch]] a few holes around the empty top-part of the can
# Sit the [[Chicken|chicken]] on the [[Beer|beer]] can in a baking tray and balance it on its legs. A small chicken sits quite happily; a large chicken might be a bit trickier
# Place the [[Baking tray|baking tray]] in the bottom of the [[Oven|oven]]
# After 30 minutes, reduce the heat to 180° C ( 350° F - Gas 4)
# The [[Chicken|chicken]] should be cooked in about 1.5 hours, depending upon the size of the bird. Check every 15 minutes towards the end. It is done when the juices run clear if the deepest part of the flesh (eg the thigh) is pierced with a metal skewer or sharp knife
# Remove the [[Chicken|chicken]] extremely carefully with [[Oven gloves|oven gloves]] and tongs if needed.
