ROASTED BEER CAN CHICKEN WITH CAJUN MAYONNAISE

This is for Shaun Mersey , Paul Mersey and  Dale Murphy ..
Preheat your oven to 180deg C.
You guys will need a size 16 chicken or anything up to a size 24 ...
(The size indicates the weight of the fowl... Size 16 =1.6 kg / Size 24 =2.4 kg )
Pat your chicken dry with paper towel .
Rub the chicken all over inside and out ...with a mix of 1 and 1/2 tsp of course salt ( cooking salt ) and 1/2 tsp ground black pepper .
In a small bowl mix 1 cup of mayonnaise with 1 and  1/2 tbs of Cajun spice mix ( available in all supermarkets ).
Mix in 1 and 1/2 tbs of sriracha hot chili sauce .
Now massage the mayonnaise mix all over the chicken and the inside cavity .
Now using your beer can chicken roaster , open your favourite flavoured can of beer  , ( stout or cider would work well ) drink half of the contents ...  (it is part of the recipe ).
Place the half full can in the holder of the roaster , now lower the chicken over the can , the chicken will be easily balanced with the can in the chicken cavity .
Place the roaster in a baking tray  throw some halved washed potatoes and or sweet potatoes on the tray with a few garlic cloves and maybe some sliced small red chillies ( optional ).
Add just a drizzle of ghee over the veggies ( not much ) , place in your preheated  oven and allow to cook for 75 minutes and let the aromas fill your kitchen .
Prepare a simple leafy salad with a few noodles or just add cooked greens to you plate .
The chicken will be ready to serve when you pierce a thigh and the juices run clear .
Enjoy Mum x
