Garlic Herb Beer Butt Chicken Recipes

GARLIC HERB BUTTER

Steps:

• Beat all ingredients together with a fork until light and fluffy.
• Place on plastic wrap and roll into a log.
• Twist ends of plastic wrap to"seal" butter inches.
• Store in freezer, and cut off discs of butter as needed.
• You can store this in the fridge, but beware it will not last as long if you use fresh ingredients.
• Try adding chives, rosemary, or tarragon.

GARLIC HERB BEER BUTT CHICKEN

Steps:

• Rinse chickens and pat dry inside and out with paper towels. Rub skin of chickens with 1/4 cup softened butter. Mix paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper in a small bowl and sprinkle chickens with about half the seasoning mix. Reserve remaining seasonings for later step.
• Make a small hole in the skin between the breast and leg of each chicken; use your finger to loosen breast skin and push 1 or 2 cloves of garlic beneath the breast skin. Place parsley, oregano, and thyme in the cavity of each chicken. Let the chickens marinate 1 hour, or up to overnight refrigerated.
• Preheat grill for low heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Place 2 garlic cloves into each partially full can of beer and remove herbs from chicken cavities; stuff the herbs into the beer cans. Spray each chicken with cooking spray and sit the chickens up on the beer cans, inserting cans into the cavities to hold chickens upright.
• Place a large section of aluminum foil on grill; stand chickens up on the foil. Baste chickens with 1/4 cup melted butter and sprinkle with remaining seasoning mix.
• Grill chickens until an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into a thigh of each bird reads 180 degrees F (80 degrees C), about 2 hours.

GARLIC HERB BUTTER ROAST CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 430°F | 220°C (400°F or 200°C fan forced). Line a baking tray with foil, or lightly grease a roasting pan.
• Discard neck from inside the cavity and remove any excess fat and leftover feathers. Pat dry with paper towels.
• Pour the olive oil, melted butter, wine (if using) and the juice of half a lemon over the chicken, under the skin and inside the cavity. Season chicken liberally on the outside and inside the cavity with salt and pepper. Sprinkle over the parsley.
• Rub the minced garlic over the chicken, mixing all ingredients together over the chicken and under the skin.
• Stuff the garlic head into the chicken cavity along with the rosemary sprigs and the squeezed lemon halve. Tie legs together with kitchen string.
• Place breast-side up into baking tray or roasting pan. Roast for 1 hour and 15-20 minutes, basting half way through cooking time, until juices run clear when chicken thigh is pierced with a skewer.
• Baste again, then broil for a further 2-3 minutes, until golden.
• Remove from the oven, cover with foil and allow to stand for 10 minutes before serving. Serve, drizzled with pan juices and remaining lemon half cut into wedges or slices.

GARLIC HERB BEER BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375. Spray a loaf pan with non stick baking spray and set aside.
• In a large bowl combine the flour, baking powder, salt, dried herbs, minced garlic and honey.
• Add in 2 tablespoons of the melted butter. Stir to combine.
• Pour in the beer, stir until combined.
• Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan. Smooth out the top and brush the remaining melted butter on top.
• Bake for 55-60 minutes, until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

GARLIC BUTTER CHICKEN

Steps:

• To a large skillet, add the olive oil, pounded chicken, evenly season with 21 Salute, salt, pepper, and cook over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Do not touch, move, or disturb the chicken while it is searing. After 5 minutes, flip chicken over. It should have a medium golden color. For thicker/bigger chicken breasts, sear for 6-7 minutes.
• Allow chicken to cook on the second side for about 5 minutes, or until done and cooked through. Again, do not disturb the chicken while it's searing.
• Remove chicken with a slotted spatula and place it on a plate to rest.
• Using caution, deglaze your skillet by adding wine (or broth) and allow the liquid to bubble up and steam violently for a few seconds.
• Add the butter and allow it to melt, about 1 minute; stir continuously until melted.
• Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minutes; stir continuously.
• Turn the heat off, add the chicken back into the skillet, flip it around in the garlic butter sauce, and spoon the sauce over the chicken.
• Optionally garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

BEER, BUTTER AND GARLIC CHICKEN BASTING SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan and warm over medium heat until the butter has melted. Using a pastry brush, brush on chicken as it cooks on the grill, repeating every couple of minutes.
• I used boneless thighs and grilled them for 15-20 minutes on medium heat. You can also use this for whole chickens or other packaged chicken parts. Cook accordingly.

GARLIC-BUTTER BAKED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, in a single layer; cook until golden brown on the bottom, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Meanwhile, combine butter, garlic, Italian seasoning and crushed red pepper in a small microwaveable bowl. Microwave on High until the butter is melted and the garlic is sizzling, about 45 seconds.
• Cook wine in the skillet over medium-high heat until reduced by half, about 1 minute. Add broth; bring to a simmer. Return the chicken to the pan; spoon the garlic butter mixture over the chicken. Transfer to the oven and bake until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken registers 165°F, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley.
