I always liked making beer can chicken on my grill. I'm living in a studio apartment now with no grill so
I started looking around for an alternative. I found this recipe in America's Test Kitchen TV Show cookbook. I added the veggies I had in the fridge to make a complete meal.

Ingredients

120 mins
4 servings
  1. 1 3-5 lb Chicken
  2. 1 can tall beer
  3. Glaze -
  4. 1/4 C Maple Syrup
  5. 1/4 C Vinegar (I used pomegranate)
  6. 1/4 C Jam or Marmalade
  7. 1 tsp Cornstarch mixed with 1tsp water
  8. 1 T Butter

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Open beer and drink 1/2 of it. I used a 16 oz can of Stiegl Radler which is beer and grapefruit juice. Cut slits in the back of the chicken to let fat run into the pan.

  2. 2

    Spray the can with cooking spray (so you can remove it easily). Stand up the chicken in a pan.

  3. 3

    I threw the veggies I had on hand in the pan as well. Those are sweet potatoes, Carrots, pepper and onion.

  4. 4

    Then carefully put it in the oven. I used a low temperature (325 deg) to start. You don't need the pizza stone - that's just where I store it!

  5. 5

    While the chicken is in the oven make a glaze. These are most of the ingredients.

  6. 6

    Cook the glaze over low heat.

  7. 7

    When the breast meat hits about 140 deg (F) pull the pan out and turn the oven up all the way (500 deg on my oven).

  8. 8

    Brush 1/2 of the glaze on the chicken. Remove and veggies that are cooked.

  9. 9

    Cook at the high temperature until breast meat is about 160 deg F. (About 10-15 min) Carefully remove chicken, put on cutting board and brush with remaining glaze. Let cool for 20 minutes.

  10. 10

    This is the chicken carved with the veggies. Enjoy!

  11. 11

    One more thing. Don't forget to throw the bones in a stock pot for delicious homemade stock!
