Ingredients

1 can Asda West Coast IPA

1.7kg Asda Succulent Large Chicken

½ Lime, juiced

1–2 tbsp Asda Chipotle Paste

1 tbsp Runny Honey

1 large Onion, cut into thick wedges

½ fresh Pineapple, cored and cut into wedges (about 200g)

200ml Chicken Stock, made from 1 Stock Cube

Green salad, to serve

Method

Arrange oven racks as low as they can go or take out entirely. Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6.

Clean the unopened can of beer. Open and pour about one third into a large roasting tin.

Stand the can in the centre of the roasting tin and sit the chicken upright over the can, so that the legs are pointing downwards. It should fit snugly.

In a small bowl stir together the lime juice, chipotle paste and honey and season well. Rub all over the chicken.

Add the wedges of onion and pieces of pineapple to the tin around the chicken and pour in the chicken stock.

Carefully put the tin into the oven and cook for 1 hr 10 mins–1 hr 20 mins or until the juices run clear when prodded and no visible pinkness remains. Baste with pan juices after 45 mins, turning the pineapple if beginning to burn.

Take out of the oven and loosely tent with foil. Rest for 15 mins.

After the chicken has rested, remove it from the can of beer. You can lay it down in the roasting tin and pull the can out with a kitchen towel – it will be hot.

Carve the chicken and arrange on a serving platter. Add the pineapple from the roasting tin and drizzle over some of the beer pan juices before serving.
