Enjoy!
INGREDIENTS
Whole cleaned chickens
1 can of beer per chicken
Marinade
100ml veg oil, 100ml water, 50 ml Worcestershire sauce, 50ml soy sauce, 1 tspn mustard powder, 100ml dark brown sugar, 1 tspn chilli powder, 5 cloves crushed garlic
Glaze
200g marmalade, 50g chopped chives, 100g honey, 100ml cider vinegar, 2 lemons juiced
Dressing
1 lemon juiced, 100ml olive oil, 1 tbsp white wine vinegar, 50g chopped chive
METHOD
Mix all the marinade ingredients together and marinate the chicken for 4-6 hours.
Make a vinaigrette with some of the lemon juice, olive oil, chives and season.
If you have a bbq with a lid on preheat to 150c, if not use an oven.
Mix together the glaze ingredients.
Open the beer can and pour a little out or drink, sit the chicken onto the beer can and place in the oven or on the bbq with a lid.
Cook for an hour and a half, glazing all of the time with a thyme or marjoram brush.
After an hour and a half remove the beer can, re-glaze and cook directly onto the bbq or oven tray, until browned on all sides.
Rest for 15 mins, then serve with a lemon and chive dressing.
