Best Roasted Chicken With Beer Baste Recipes

BEER CAN CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven 400 degrees F
• Place the chicken on the upright roasting rack (or mostly empty soda/beer can) in a large shallow pan.
• In a small bowl mix together salt, garlic powder, basil, oregano, paprika and thyme.
• Rub it all over the chicken.
• Add the potatoes and carrots around the chicken in the pan.
• Roast for 75-90 minutes or until the thickest part of the thighs are at 165 degrees with a meat thermometer.

BAKED BEER CAN CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix the garlic powder, seasoned salt, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and ground black pepper in a small bowl; set aside. Pour 1/3 of one can of beer into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Place the open beer can in the center of the baking dish.
• Rinse chicken under cold running water. Discard giblets and neck from chicken; drain and pat dry. Fit whole chicken over the open beer can with the legs on the bottom. With the breast of the chicken facing you, use a paring knife to cut a small slit on each side and press the tip of each wing into the slit to encourage even cooking.
• Rub the prepared seasoning mixture to taste over the entire chicken. Pat the sliced green onions around the whole chicken evenly. Some will fall into the beer, that's fine. Press the halved green onions into the top cavity of the chicken. Open the remaining beer and pour 1/2 of it into the pan under then chicken. Reserve the remaining beer.
• Bake the chicken in the preheated oven. After 45 minutes, pour remaining beer into the pan under the chicken. Continue baking until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 30 additional 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 oven 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.

BEER CAN CHICKEN IN THE OVEN

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
• Prepare chicken by removing any giblets, etc, and discard. Rinse the chicken and pat dry.
• Rub the chicken with your oil. Use salt, pepper and dry rub all over the inside and outside of the bird. Set aside.
• Pour 1/3 to 1/2 of your can of beer into the base of the roasting pan.
• Place the beer can directly inside the cavity of the chicken.
• Place your chicken into the oven and roast for one hour and fifteen minutes. Check your temp with a meat thermometer - you'll want to see 180 degrees fahrenheit in the thickest part of the thigh, 165 in the breast (internal).
• Let chicken rest for 10 minutes. You can even make a loose tent over the chicken to create a moisture trap. Carve and serve.

BEER-CAN ROASTED CHICKEN WITH FIG-JAM PAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees, with rack in lowest position. Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Rub skin with butter, and season with salt. Pour out 1/2 cup stout from can; reserve. Poke holes in top of can using a church key. Place thyme in can, and set in a large ovenproof skillet. Place chicken over can, balancing legs to keep it standing like a tripod.
• Carefully transfer chicken to oven, breast side first. Roast for 20 minutes. Baste with pan juices. Roast, basting twice, until juices run clear and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh reaches 155 degrees, about 25 minutes more.
• Carefully remove skillet from oven. (Steady chicken with 1 hand, using paper towels or mitts to protect your hand.) Let chicken rest (it will continue to cook) until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh reaches 165 degrees, about 10 minutes, then remove from can. Let chicken rest for 10 minutes before serving.
• Meanwhile, discard can, and pour pan juices into a cup; skim fat. Return juices to skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in reserved 1/2 cup stout, and bring to a simmer, scraping up brown bits. Mix together water and flour. Whisk into skillet. Boil for 1 minute. Whisk in jam. Simmer until thick, about 2 minutes. Serve chicken with sauce.

BEER BASTED CHICKEN QUARTERS

Steps:

• Place the chicken quarters in a large plastic or glass container, pour 2 beers over the chicken letting it marinate in your refrigerator about 1 hour.
• While your chicken is marinating, pour 2 beers and your chopped onion into a saucepan and bring your mixture to a boil for about 5 minutes.
• Use caution to avoid boil-overs.
• After 5 minutes of boiling, adjust the heat to Low and add 1 teaspoon of Emeril's Essence, 2 teaspoons on McCormick's Montreal Chicken Seasoning, and ½ stick of butter.
• Allow your beer basting mix to simmer for about 30-40 minutes.
• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
• Place your chicken on a rack in a large oven pan, then pour the beer from the marinade over the chicken so it drains to the bottom of the pan.
• Season both sides of your chicken quarters with McCormick's Montreal Chicken Seasoning.
• Gently spoon about half of your beer basting mix over your chicken pieces.
• Insert your roasting pan with your chicken on the middle rack of your oven.
• After 25 minutes cooking time, carefully slide your oven rack out and spoon the remainder of your basting mix over your chicken pieces.
• Slide the rack back into the oven and cook about 25 minutes more until your chicken is brown and crispy.
• Remove your chicken from the oven, place the pieces on a serving dish, sprinkle with your chopped Spring onions.
• Serve with corn on the cob and baked potatoes.
• You did a great job, so open that 5th beer and enjoy it with your chicken as your guests compliment your culinary talent.

ROASTED BEER BUTT LIME CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Rinse the chicken, inside and out, and pat skin dry with paper towels.
• Squeeze juice from lime halves over the outside of the chicken and place the squeezed halves in the cavity. Sprinkle cavity with minced garlic. Stir salt, black pepper, and rosemary in a small bowl and season the outside of the chicken with the mixture.
• Place chicken upright in a roasting pan, with the beer can inserted into the cavity far enough so the chicken doesn't fall over. Place the onion into the neck cavity to block steam from escaping. Pour water into the bottom of the pan.
• Roast the chicken upright in the preheated oven until sizzling and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh reads 180 degrees F (80 degrees C), 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Baste occasionally with pan drippings. Let chicken cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

BEER-BASTED CHICKEN WITH ASIAN FLAVORS

• Transfer chicken to platter. Pour pan juices into medium saucepan; spoon off fat and discard. Boil until sauce is reduced to 1 cup, about 6 minutes. Serve chicken with sauce.
