Answer 1

Beer Chicken

1 whole chicken, quartered,skinned if you prefer,if not ok
1 (24 ounce) bottle ketchup
5 tablespoons brown sugar
2 (12 ounce) cans beer

Pan fry chicken on both sides until brown.
Using cooking spray, coat a 13x9 cake pan or glass casserole (glass preferred) Place browned chicken in pan.
Mix beer, ketchup, and brown sugar together.
Pour mixture over chicken in pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes.



Chicken in Beer Sauce -- Pollo a la Cerveza

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup flour
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3-3 1/2 lbs cut up chicken pieces
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 large carrots, chopped
1 medium green pepper, chopped
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
12 ounces lager beer
2 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes

In a ziplock bag, mix the flour, 1 tsp of the salt and the pepper.
Add the chicken pieces, seal the bag and shake up and down to coat the chicken.
Heat oil in a large, fairly deep frying pan.
Add chicken and cook on both sides until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.
Remove chicken from the pan.
Lower the heat slightly and add the onion, garlic and pepper to the pan.
Sauté for a couple minutes, then add the carrots.
Cook for another couple minutes, then add the tomatoes and remaining salt, if needed.
Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the beer and potatoes.
Top with the chicken and bring to a boil.
Cover and let simmer over a low heat for 30 minutes.
Remove the cover and cook for 5-10 minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
You can re-brown the chicken in a bit of oil in a second skillet, just before serving.
I find it needs this"touch up" especially if it still has the skin on.
Serve with your favourite green veggies.


Dark Beer-Marinated BBQ Chicken (Biermarinierten Huhn)

1/2 cup peanut oil
1 teaspoon German mustard, preferably Dusseldorf-style
1 cup german dark beer
1/4 cup lemon juice
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon minced fresh basil
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
3 1/2-4 1/2 lbs chicken parts
nonstick cooking spray

Whisk together peanut oil and mustard in a large mixing bowl or Ziploc bag. Add beer and lemon juice and whisk until smooth. Stir in garlic, salt, pepper, basil and thyme. Add chicken and turn to coat well. Cover and refrigerate 2 to 12 hours.
Heat about 5 dozen charcoal briquettes until covered with white ash or preheat gas grill. Spray grill grate with non-stick spray.
Drain chicken and discard marinade.
If using a charcoal grill, push hot briquettes to one side of the grill and place chicken on grill rack, on the coals side.
Cook uncovered until skin is crisp, about 10 minutes, moving and turning as needed with clean tongs to prevent charring.
Move chicken parts to the cool side of the grill and cover. Cook until meat is opaque throughout and juices run clear, about 10 to 15 minutes more.
