Best Beer Marinated Barbecued Chicken Recipes

BEER AND GARLIC GRILLED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place the chicken in a gallon size zip-close bag or an airtight container. Stir together the marinade ingredients and pour over the chicken.
• Seal and turn the bag or container to coat the pieces evenly. Let rest in the refrigerator for 12-36 hours. I try to marinate chicken for a minimum of 24 hours most of the time, because the longer time makes a huge different in the flavor.
• When ready to cook the meat, let the chicken rest on the counter for 30 minutes to an hour prior to cooking.
• Preheat the grill to medium heat. For boneless skinless chicken thighs, cook the meat 6 minutes on each side. Then increase the heat closer to medium-high and cook an additional 4 minutes, as needed. Enjoy!

BEER MARINATED BARBECUED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Marinate chicken in beer, chilli and plum sauces, pepper, salt, spring onion, garlic and corriander for at least 30 min.
• (Not more than 4 hours or else it will turn sour) Remove chicken from marinade and barbecue over a hot grill, basting with remaining marinade once in a while.
• Remove and set aside when chicken is cooked.
• Season potato and spinach with salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
• In a heated saucepan, reduce the remaining marinade until desired sauce consistency.
• To serve, top spinach with chicken and potatoes on the side and drizzle the sauce around and over.

GRILLED BEER CHICKEN

BEER CAN CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, about 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Mix the brown sugar, chili powder, paprika, dry mustard, salt, and ground black pepper in a small bowl. Place the half-full can of beer in the center of a plate.
• Rinse chicken under cold running water. Discard giblets and neck from chicken; drain and pat dry. Fit whole chicken over the can of beer with the legs on the bottom; keep upright. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of the seasoning mix into the top cavity of the chicken. The beer may foam up when the seasonings fall inside the can. Rub the remaining seasoning mix over the entire surface of the chicken.
• Place the chicken, standing on the can, directly on the preheated grill. Close the lid and barbeque the chicken until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 hour 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). Remove the chicken from the grill and discard the beer can. Cover the chicken with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before slicing.
