So sorry....

I'm sorry I haven't blogged in ages but things are really busy with my new job.  I promise to start blogging again soon.  In the meantime I leave you with a few of my favourite recipes.

Beer Can Chicken - take 2


I made Beer Can Chicken for the second time.  I really like it.  The chicken is so moist and delicious.  I used a different marinade this time but it worked just as well.

Ingredients:
1 x whole chicken, cleaned
1 x beer (of your choice – I used Carlsberg)

For the marinade:

1 x chicken stock cube
4 x tablespoons oil
1 x tablespoon garlic, diced
1 x tablespoon mixed herbs, dried

Method:

Mix all the marinade ingredients together
Rub into chicken
Open the beer
Open up the chicken and place the can of beer inside the cavity.
Cook in a pre-heated oven for 1.5 hours (depending on the size of the chicken)

Please note:

Be careful when removing the beer can from the chicken as it will be very hot.
I turned the chicken onto it’s side and pulled the can out.
Pour any remaining beer into the roasting dish and make a delicious gravy.
