Beer Can Chicken in an oven!
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
-
1 3-5 lb Chicken
-
1 can tall beer
-
Glaze -
-
1/4 C Maple Syrup
-
1/4 C Vinegar (I used pomegranate)
-
1/4 C Jam or Marmalade
-
1 tsp Cornstarch mixed with 1tsp water
-
1 tsp Dijon mustard
-
1 T Butter
Cooking Instructions
-
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
Spray the can with cooking spray (so you can remove it easily). Stand up the chicken in a pan.
-
3
I threw the veggies I had on hand in the pan as well. Those are sweet potatoes, Carrots, pepper and onion.
-
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!

While the chicken is in the oven make a glaze. These are most of the ingredients.
-
6
Cook the glaze over low heat.
-
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
Brush 1/2 of the glaze on the chicken. Remove and veggies that are cooked.
-
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.

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