BRAZILIAN BEER CHICKEN



Brazilian Beer Chicken image

Another recipe I found in Steven Raichlen's "The Barbecue Bible" and this is what he states about the recipe: "The United States isn't the only place where beer and barbecue are inextricably interwoven. In Rio de Janeiro, I came across this savory grilled chicken, which owes its exceptional succulence to a two-day bath in beer. Try, if possible, to find a Brazilian beer if you can: Antarctica (a pilsener-style brew) will produce a mild-flavored chicken; Xingu Black Beer (a dark bitter stout) will produce a bird with a rich, malty flavor. Serve with Crazy Rice or Brazilian Black Beans with Bacon. Note: Time doesn't include the 6 - 48 hours for marinating.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups beer
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup dijon-style mustard
1 tablespoon paprika, sweet
1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
12 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 bay leaves
1 chicken (3 1/2 to 4 pounds)
salt, coarse (kosher or sea)

Steps:

  • Combine the beer, oil, mustard, paprika, and pepper in a large nonreactive bowl and whisk thoroughly to blend. Stir in the onion, garlic, and bay leaves.
  • Rinse the chicken pieces under cold running water, then drain and blot dry with paper towels. Add to the marinade in the bowl and turn to coat. Cover and let marinate, in the refrigerator, for 6 hours or up to 2 days (the longer the better), turning the pieces occasionally.
  • Preheat the grill, using the two-tiered method.
  • When ready to cook, remove the chicken pieces from the marinade, reserving the marinade, and blot dry. Season the pieces generously with salt. Oil the grill grate and arrange the chicken, skin side down, on the grate over the hotter section of the grill and cook until the skin is golden brown and the meat is cooked through without any trace of red at the bone, 8 to 12 minutes per side. If you get flare-ups, move the chicken to the safety zone until the flames die down. During the first 10 minutes only, brush several times with the reserved marinade.
  • Transfer the chicken pieces to serving plates and serve immediately.

BRAZILIAN BEER MARINATED CHICKEN



Brazilian Beer Marinated Chicken image

Food and Wine Magazine, June /07 issue. This is a Steve Raichlen recipe, he uses a Brazilian lager but American stouts are okay. There is a 4 hour marinating time. I found this recipe to be very intriguing because it had many different ingredients. I especially liked the caraway seeds and the sweet paprika. Can't wait to try! Update: 09/24/07 - this is very, very good! Instead of an anise flavored beer (Brazilian beer) they used an American beer. I had this at Lima's house, whe is a Brazilian nurse here at the home and she had a small get together & served this. She doesn't like the Brazilian beer either.

BRAZILIAN BEER CAN CHICKEN

It is hard to find presents for my dad, but I managed to get him the BBQ Bible book, and he was happy to search through for ideas to grill. This recipe was one we tried in Eagle River in 2001, and continued to make as long as we spent summers at the cottage. It is wonderful!
