VERMONT BAKER'S ROAST CHICKEN WITH BEER GRAVY

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together the baking powder, paprika, lemon zest, sugar, 2 tablespoons salt and some pepper. Set aside.
• Remove the giblets from inside the chicken. Rinse the chicken with cool water, inside and out, and pat dry with paper towels, inside and out.
• Sprinkle the chicken evenly with the salt mixture. Place chicken in the refrigerator, uncovered, for 12 to 24 hours to dry brine.
• Place an oven rack in the lower third of the oven; remove the other racks. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Pour about half of the beer into a glass--and drink it. Place the half-empty can on a baking sheet or roasting pan and drop the garlic cloves into the can. Place the chicken on the can so it's "standing." (If you're cooking for a crowd, this is a good way of roasting more than one chicken at a time.)
• Bake until an instant-read thermometer registers 165 to 170 degrees F when inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, 75 to 90 minutes.
• Allow to rest, covered in foil, while you make the Beer Gravy. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pan drippings for the gravy.
• Carve the chicken and serve with Beer Gravy.
• Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour to make a roux: cook, stirring constantly, until the flour is slightly brown. Whisk in the brown sugar to combine. Add the chicken stock, beer and drippings and whisk to combine.
• Add the soy sauce, Worcestershire and horseradish and whisk to incorporate. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook, whisking, until the gravy thickens, about 3 minutes.

SPICE RUBBED PORK ROAST IN BEER GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Cook and stir minced garlic, pepper, oregano, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, dried thyme, mustard, marjoram, and basil in hot butter until fragrant, thick, and easy to spread, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Place pork in a roasting pan. Spread garlic mixture over the top of the roast and season with salt. Pour beer into bottom of the roasting pan and cover pan with aluminum foil.
• Roast in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove aluminum foil and continue to cook for 1 hour. Increase temperature to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) and cook until pork is slightly pink in the center, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
• Remove roast to a plate to rest and tent with aluminum foil. Place roasting pan over medium-low heat and whisk flour, garlic salt, and onion powder into the pan drippings. Cook and whisk until gravy thickens, about 5 minutes. Serve roast with gravy.

Add remaining butter to pan; whisk in flour, dill weed and pepper. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly until thickened, 3-5 minutes. To serve, place 1 brat on each slice of bread; top evenly with onions and gravy.

• Remove the star anise, bayleaves and cloves (if you can find them) from the gravy and season to taste with some salt and pepper.
• For the sausages and mashed potato, cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for 20 minutes until soft.
• Then after about 10 minutes, heat the oil for the sausages in a large frying pan.
• Add the sausages and fry them over a medium heat for 8-10 minutes, turning now and then, until nicely browned and cooked through.
• Drain the potatoes and mash until smooth - a potato ricer does this really well.

CREAMY GRAVY-COVERED, BEER-BRAISED COUNTRY-STYLE PORK RIBS

Steps:

• Mix salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder in small bowl or Ziploc bag and then sprinkle liberally over ribs. Allow the seasoned ribs to sit for about 20 minutes at room temperature.
• Heat oil in large heavy-bottomed, oven-proof Dutch oven (love my enameled cast iron Dutch oven for this). Brown the ribs on all sides. Do NOT crowd them while browning, if it takes two batches, let it take two batches (otherwise they just steam and won't develop a nice sear).
• Once ribs have browned well, remove them to a plate.
• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• There should be ample rendered fat, but if there is more than about 4 tablespoons, remove the excess. Place all sliced onions in the bottom of the pan and allow them to start to take on just a bit of color.
• Pour in about 1/4 can of beer to deglaze the bottom of the pan while the onions continue to cook.
• Once the bottom of the pan is deglazed, return ribs to the pan (with any of juices on the plate). Pour in the rest of the beer. This should just barely cover all of the ribs and onions.
• Cover and bake at 375°F for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• When you remove the Dutch oven from the oven, be prepared for the onions to have cooked down into gooey lusciousness, and the sides of the pan to look like a disaster. Don't worry - it will taste great.
• Remove the ribs (which will be falling apart tender) and the onions from the pan.
• Turn oven down to 325°F.
• Use the water that you will be using to make the pork gravy mix with to "deglaze" the bottom on the pan, then add the mix according to the instructions on the packet. (I originally did try using canned gravy but it tasted "canned.") Once the gravy has thickened, mix in cream of mushroom soup, the dry onion soup mix and the mushrooms.
• Place ribs and onions back in the Dutch oven and stir so that the gravy is covering the ribs.
• Cover the Dutch oven again, and return to the oven heated to 325°F.
• Cook for about 1 hour.
• Serve with mashed potatoes, noodles or rice.

AIR-FRYER BRATS WITH BEER GRAVY

Add onion; cook and stir until onions start to brown and soften. Add flour, dill weed and pepper; stir until smooth. Stir in beer. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, stirring constantly until thickened, 3-5 minutes. To serve, place 1 brat on each slice of bread; top evenly with onion mixture.

BEER ONION GRAVY PORK ROAST

Steps:

• 1. Use a heavy, and deep pot to brown the pork loin in the oil over medium-high heat, starting fat side down, about 10 minutes per side. Remove pork and keep warm.
• 2. Add a bit more oil, if necessary. Add the onions and carrots to the pan. Cook about 10 minutes or until the onions are soft. The carrots do not have to be soft to continue.
• 3. Stir all the spices into the beer.
• 4. Put pork back into the pot with the veggies. Pour the beer and seasonings over the pork.
• 5. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for about 2 to 2-1/2 hours or until pork is fork tender.
• 6. Take pork out of the pot, cover with aluminum foil and rest for about 10 minutes.
• 7. Meanwhile, use an immersion blender to puree the veggies into the liquid in the pot.
• 8. I've never added any flour to thicken since the veggies make a nice thick broth with the juices & beer. Keep warm over low heat, until ready to serve.
• 9. If you do not have an immersion blender, pour the liquid and veggies into a bowl. Put about 1/2 at a time into a food processor or blender. It will be hot so be careful and do not try to do too much at a time. Keep a towel folded over the processer/blender lid to be sure it doesn't allow hot liquid to spurt out the top.

BEER IN THE BUTT CHICKEN & DRIPPIN GRAVY RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Prepare your grill for indirect heat. If you are using charcoal, put the coals on one side of the grill, leaving another side free of coals. If you are using a gas grill, fire up only half of the burners. Remove neck and giblets from cavity of chicken, if the chicken came with them. Gently get under the skin and run the under side with olive oil then rub underneath with the first 3 ingredients. Sprinkle all sides with the next 3 ingredients. Place in large zip lock bag for 1 hour or over night. Make sure the beer can is open, and only half-filled with beer (drink the other half!) If you want, you can put a sprig of thyme (or another herb like rosemary or sage) in the beer can. Lower the chicken on to the open can, so that the chicken is sitting upright, with the can in its cavity. I use a pie plate to put the chicken in to cook. I also loke to spray the chicken with butter all the way around to crisp up the skin while cooking. Place the chicken on the cool side of the grill, using the legs and beer can as a tripod to support the chicken on the grill and keep it stable. Cover the grill and walk away. Do not even check the chicken for at least an hour. After an hour, check the chicken and refresh the coals if needed (if you are using a charcoal grill). Keep checking the chicken every 15 minutes or so, until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 160°F - 165°F. The total cooking time will vary depending on the size of your chicken, and the internal temperature of the grill. A 4 lb chicken will usually take around 1 1/2 hours. Carefully transfer the chicken to a tray or pan. Use tongs to hold the top of the chicken. Lift the chicken, beer can still inside, and move it to a tray. Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes. Carefully lift the chicken off of the can. If it gets stuck, lay the chicken on its side, and pull out the can with tongs. When done pour remaining pan drippings and beer into small sauce pan, heat over medium heat till it comes to a boil, mix about 1 1/2 tablespoons flour in a small cup, stir to blend with about 1/2 cup of water, and pour into sauce pan, whisking as you go until mixture begins to thicken. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed. Serve over mashed potatoes, rice or pasta if desired. Serve with chicken

BRATS WITH BEER GRAVY -- MAN FUEL

Steps:

• Cook Brats over medium heat. Pierce casings all over with pointed end of knife or use fork. This will allow the fat to drip out into pan and prevent sausages from bursting. Brown on all sides until no pink shows on inside. Remove from pan and set aside.
• To make gravy: Take a container with a sealable lid (like tupperware) and pour the beer into it. Add Italian seasoning, beef boullion, pepper and cornstarch. Place lid on tight and shake to blend ingredients. Open lid between shakes to relieve the gas pressure from the beer or you'll have a big mess to clean up.
• Pour beer mixture into pan drippings. Turn up heat to medium high. Stir using a wire whisk, loosening bits from bottom of pan. Gravy is done when you see it bubbling.
• Too thick? Add more beer. Too thin? Add more beer mixed with a little cornstarch. Do not add dry cornstarch directly to hot gravy. You will get lumps.
• Serve with mashed potatoes and a green veggie.

ROSE MARY'S BEER CAN CHICKEN & PAN GRAVY

• 2. Mix garlic powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, dry mustard, and onion powder in a small bowl, mix together and rub liberally on the inside and outside of chicken. Spray chicken with none stick cooking spray, I use Butter flavored variety.
• 3. Pour out about 1/3 cup of beer,from can. Make a couple of extra holes in top of can to allow steam to escape, add 2-3 cloves of garlic,minced to can, and 1/2 teaspoon each of dried rosemary and thyme, or any of your favorite herbs.
• 4. Place can in an oven proof dish, and position chicken over top of can, and adjust the legs to allow chicken to sit on can without falling over. All of the drippings from chicken will fall into pan as the chicken cooks. The drippings is what you will use to make your pan gravy. Position on lowest rack in oven so chicken can stand without touching top of oven.
• 5. Allow chicken to cook at 400 degrees F for half an hour.
• 6. Then reduce temperature to 350 degrees F. and continue to cook for an additional one and a half hours, or until juices run clear when tested.
• 7. Remove from oven when done. Allow chicken to stand for 15 to 20 minutes before removing chicken from can to carve. Be careful, chicken and can are still hot.
• 8. When done pour remaining pan drippings and beer into small sauce pan, heat over medium heat till it comes to a boil, mix about 1 1/2 tablespoons flour in a small cup, stir to blend with about 1/2 cup of water, and pour into sauce pan, whisking as you go until mixture begins to thicken. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed. Serve over mashed potatoes, rice or pasta if desired. Serve with chicken
• 9. Note this chicken cooks from the inside out, and is very moist.
