DRUNKEN CHICKEN

Preheat your oven to 200 deg C

Pat dry 1 good sized chicken and rub it all over inside and out with salt and pepper .

Place 1 cup of mayonnaise in a small bowl and mix in 1 tbs of Cajun spice and 1 dsp of sriracha sauce 

Now massage this mixture all over the chicken  including the cavity .
I used an oven chicken stand and filled the liquid vessel with beer , if you dont have this stand simply use an open can of beer (1/2 full ) and lower the chicken over the can or the stand .
Place the chicken stand or the chicken on the beer tin on a baking tray and into the oven .
Bake for 60 minutes after  30 minutes add the  seasoned potatoes and or pumpkin to the baking tray  to bake in the tray juices .
Let the chicken rest for 5minutes before carving and serve along side lime wedges .
