No spatchcocked tonight but rather Beer can

So since receiving my first egg I have to say I have had great success with chicken every time I have cooked it. Thanks to this forum I learned what "Spatchcoked" meant and I now feel like I have perfected that method. Tonight I decided to try something new however. Seeing that I am celiac I need to keep all my meals gluten free so this normally meant that I can't do a beer can chicken as it's very hard to find gluten free beer in a can. Well I was lucky to find some when down in the states on the weekend so that's what inspired tonight's cook. (I do realize I can buy a beer can" adapter that allows you to pour bottled beer into, but I haven't made this purchase yet). So for tonight's cook I first washed and the patted dry my full chicken. I then rubbed some Big green egg gourmet seasoning all over the chicken. I then put the chicken in the fridge uncovered for 2 hours. During this time I cut the top of the beer can off and drank almost half of it. I then added some butter slices. Some garlic powder, and some paprika to the beer. I then set up the egg for indirect cooking. I used my plate setter and set a drip pan elevated on the setter. I filled this pan with more beer and some chicken broth to help keep the chicken very moist. I then placed the chicken on top of the beer can and placed it on the egg and cooked around 350. It cooked for about an 1:15 and was getting close to being finished however I was not satisfied with the skin. At this point I removed the drip pan and PS and placed a cast iron pan on direct heat. I then seared the chicken on both sides on the hot cast iron. The results.... Well I love doing my chicken spatchcocked and will continue to do them that way but this chicken also turned out very good. The chicken was very moist and had great flavour. Chicken on the egg (like most things) is very hard to screw up. The only complaint I have doing beer can vs spatchcocked is that it does cook unevenly and took way longer. The final tastes were similar and very good but beer can just was harder to get the results. Here are a few pics. My plate was a little to much food... I then cleaned up tonight cooked and began to prep tomorrow pork shoulder butt that I will be making pulled pork with
