Beer-can chicken

Beer-can chicken

from The Extraordinary Cookbook: Make Meals Your Friends Will Never Forget (page 153) by Stefan Gates

Very easy.

Organic chicken with a 1/2 full beer can up its opening. Important to use a beer that you will use to make the gravy. Hence Guinness is not suitable. I chose an XPA which has an apply hops flavour

Coating of EVOO, rosemary, thyme & S&P.

The only problem I had was that the temperature time equation was not nearly long enough.

Mollie waited for her piece!

The end result was a very moist chicken.

Gravy was just the chicken juice, the beer and a little flour. Served with baked potatoes, onion, carrots and zucchini.
