Time 1h15m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 skinless chicken leg quarters
1 large clove garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons dried rosemary, divided
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 cup beer
3 tablespoons cornstarch
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, halved and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices

Steps:

  • Put the chicken in a large bowl with crushed garlic, 1 tablespoon rosemary, salt, and pepper. Pour beer over top and let rest for at least 30 minutes.
  • Remove chicken from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle cornstarch over the chicken to coat it completely. Reserve the marinade.
  • Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chicken and brown on all sides, about 3 minutes per side. Add onion. Remove garlic from the marinade and add to the Dutch oven with a bit of marinade to keep everything from burning. Saute until onion is tender and translucent, about 5 minutes.

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
salt and pepper to taste
1 (16 ounce) bottle Italian-style salad dressing
⅓ cup vegetable oil

Tips:

  • Use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts. The bones and skin will help the chicken stay moist and flavorful during cooking.
  • Make sure the chicken is completely submerged in the marinade. If it's not, the parts that are exposed to air will dry out and become tough.
  • Let the chicken marinate for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight. This will give the flavors time to penetrate the chicken.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat. This will help prevent the chicken from drying out.
  • Baste the chicken with the marinade while it's cooking. This will help keep it moist and flavorful.
  • Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken.

Conclusion:

This Italian beer-marinated chicken is a flavorful and juicy dish that's perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual gathering. The marinade, made with beer, olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices, infuses the chicken with delicious flavor. The chicken can be grilled, roasted, or baked, and it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
