I retired the beer and I didn't have any around. I've heard of people using soda to stuff the bird, Dr. Pepper being one. I remember someone from another post stuffing the neck with lemons and oranges so I thought sprite.
The soda can really doesn't impart any flavor to the bird, my guess is that it just keeps the bird moist inside plus providing a 'throne' to stand on.
I was actually just going to use a coke can filled half with water instead of coke but the wife said try sprite. I've actually seen beer can chicken 'stands' that you just stuff in the bird in place of a can, so again, I don't see, other than moisture, the choice of soda, beer etc. imparting any flavor.
We do these about once a month instead of buying those rotiss chickens the grocery store does and charges ya $7 for.
So there ya have it.
