Beer can chicken with fig and black olive sauce

Martha Stewart knows a fabulous thing to do with a can of Guinness...you stick it up a chicken's butt!  The great thing about the Guinness can as opposed to some other beer cans is that it's tall, so the chicken has a better chance of not falling over!

I used Martha's recipe, except that I added vegetables to my cast iron skillet to cook in the chicken schmaltz (so good!), and I changed up the sauce recipe a bit, adding 1/2 c chopped dried figs and 1/4 c chopped black kalamata olives.
