this all in the oven and let my house get cozy while the hot beer did it's work.
heat oven to 425 degrees. combine all ingredients except beer. pat chicken dry and rub all over with the spice mixture.
pour out or drink half the beer and place the can in the bottom of a heavy roasting pan. lower the chicken onto the can and make sure it can stand upright.
layer all of the veggies in the bottom of the pan surrounding the chicken and toss with a little olive oil, being careful not to disturb the chicken. season with salt and pepper.
roast the chicken on the lowest rack of the oven
