Generously sprinkle the chicken with the seasoning.
If opting to make beer can chicken open the can and drain (er... drink) about 1/4th of the beer. Add a heaping teaspoon of seasoning to the beer. Insert beer can into the bottom of the chicken.
Place chicken into the basket and insert into the Big Easy.
Cook for 15 minutes per pound or until the chicken has hit 165 F as measured in several locations.
Let rest 15 minutes before removing the beer can (if using) and carving.
Notes
I use the Char-Broil folding chicken roaster Raging River chicken tastes (and looks!) fantastic! The skin is crispy and, well, addicting. Very addicting. to hold the beer or soda cans securely. If the beer you're using is only available in a bottle, just empty the contents into an empty beer or soda can.
