• One Buster’s Drunk Chicken Roost™   
• Your favorite spices or spice rub
• One four pound chicken. Up to four chickens may be cooked together, but be sure they all weigh exactly the same so they will cook in the same amount of time. If cooking three or four, use 3 1/2 pound or smaller chickens so they don't touch each other.
• One can of your favorite beverage...half full. We prefer beer, but you may use water, wine, orange juice, root beer, or any other beverage.
• Olive oil and chopped/minced garlic.
• Your home oven, grill or smoker.
• Non-stick cooking spray such as PAM Cooking Spray™
• Drip pan and/or aluminum foil (optional).

1. Wash chicken(s) thoroughly, inside and out. Discard any parts usually packed within cavity. Lightly apply olive oil to outside of chicken, and generously coat with spice rub. WASH OUTSIDE OF CAN before opening. You may wrap can in aluminum foil if desired. Empty (or drink) half of beverage can’s contents and insert chopped/minced garlic into can.
2. Assemble and use the Roost as shown in Step 1. To make cleaning easier, you may wish to spray the Roost with a non-stick cooking spray. Insert the prepared beverage cans into the Roost as per the diagram on the right. Can should be a snug fit. Notice that during insertion or removal of the can, it will only turn left.
3. Slide upright chicken over can as shown at right. Make sure the can is inserted securely up into the chicken's cavity. Cross chicken’s legs over Roost rail.

• Use the Roost’s handle to carry Roost to preheated oven or hot grill.
  
• Cook covered at 350° for 2 hours, or until chicken is thoroughly cooked.
• Use a meat thermometer with poultry setting. Test temperature in the
  breast and thigh - should be 175 - 180 degrees. DO NOT UNDERCOOK!
  
• When removing Roost from grill, use a good potholder or gloves when
  grasping Roost handle because IT WILL DEFINITELY BE HOT!
• Carve and serve directly from Roost.
  
• Remember...any remaining liquid in can will also BE HOT!
  
• DO NOT USE ROOST IN MICROWAVE!
  
• Let cooked chicken stand for 15-20 minutes to enhance flavor.
  
• When cooking in a conventional oven, use a drip pan underneath to
  prevent splattering. Add 1/2 inch of water to the pan.
• Not recommended for uncovered grills.

CLEANING THE ROOST - How to do it

When you've finished cooking and eating that delicious Drunk Chicken, and you want to get your Roost ready for the next time, please don't rub, don't scrape, don't scrub. Don't spend any more time than it takes to place your Roost in a bath of hot water and dish soap in the sink for about an hour, letting it soak to loosen up stuff. Then rinse and wipe dry.
Or, let the dishwasher do it all! Your Roost is dishwasher safe!
