Beer Butt Rosemary Chicken image

This is the best chicken recipe ever, crispy on the outside and so very moist on the inside. It is a family favorite, and my kids can't get enough of it. I strain the veggies and use a little cornstarch and water to make a delicious gravy. Serve with a simple salad and rolls.

Time 2h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (12 fluid ounce) can beer
1 orange
1 (3 pound) whole chicken
1 large sweet onion, sliced
4 sprigs fresh rosemary
seasoned salt, to taste
1 (14.5 ounce) can low-sodium chicken broth
4 red potatoes, sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking dish. Pour out half the beer from the can, spray the can with cooking spray, and set it upright in the center of the baking sheet.
  • Cut 2 thin slices from the orange, and set aside. Cut the rest of the orange into large chunks. Loosen the skin over the breast of the chicken, and insert an orange slice, an onion slice, and 1 rosemary sprig under the skin of each side of the breast. Place the orange chunks and 2 sprigs of rosemary into the cavity of the chicken.
  • Spray the outside of the chicken with cooking oil spray, and sprinkle with seasoned salt to taste. Place the chicken onto the beer can in an upright position, with the can inserted into the cavity of the chicken. Pour the chicken broth into the baking dish, and place the rest of the sliced onion and the potatoes into the broth.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until the skin is crisp, the meat is no longer pink at the bone, and the juices run clear, about 1 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

I cooked the chicken on a grill instead of in the oven. It turned out just as good, if not better.

I used a dark beer instead of a light beer, and it gave the chicken a richer flavor.

I didn't have any rosemary on hand, so I used thyme instead. It still turned out delicious.

I'm not a huge fan of rosemary, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I was pleasantly surprised! The rosemary flavor was subtle and didn't overpower the chicken.
