BRINED BEER CHICKEN
PREPARATION: 20 MIN | MARINATE: 1 HR OR OVERNIGHT | BRAAIING: 1¼ HR
INGREDIENTS
BRINE
125ml (½c) salt
water
2 bay leaves
1 cinnamon stick (optional)
grated zest of 1 lemon
CHICKEN
1 whole chicken
oil
paprika
1 can (340ml) beer
salad to serve
METHOD
Brine
- Mix the salt with enough water to cover the whole chicken. Add the rest of the ingredients.
Chicken
- Put the chicken in a non-metal bowl and pour the brine over. Allow to marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour but preferably overnight.
- Remove from the fridge and pat the chicken dry. Then rub with the oil and paprika. Open the can of beer and pour a little out. Place the cavity of the chicken over the opened can.
- Carefully place the can with the chicken on a grid over the coals and braai for about 1¼ hours or until golden brown on the outside and cooked through. Cover the chicken with a sheet of foil while braaiing to retain the heat. The chicken can also be cooked in a kettle braai.
- Once done, carve the chicken and serve with a salad.
