Beer Roasted Chicken
My friend Devora gave me this recipe last week. It’s a super easy and very flavorful weekday or Friday night recipe. Its much easier than the beer can grilled chicken version that is in many cookbooks.
1 chicken, whole or in pieces
2 heads garlic, peeled
1 teaspoon onion powder
1- 2 tablespoons Kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 (12-ounce) bottle or can of regular beer (any type is fine but I used Heineken)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place chicken in a large roasting pan. Stuff garlic under skin and around chicken. Sprinkle chicken with onion powder, salt, and pepper. Pour beer over chicken. Bake chicken uncovered for about 2 hours.
baking it uncovered for two hours doesn’t dry out the chicken?
No, there is a lot of liquid from the beer. Its super moist.
Thanks for posting an easy chicken recipe! I am always looking for basic recipes, but it seems that most cookbooks are filled with random, appetizer type-dishes that are not that suitable for dinner. I will definitely be trying this one!
Trying a variation of this tonight. Thanks for the recipe.
