BEER-BRINED CHICKEN
Flavorful, moist and delicious! Those are the results you'll get with brining-give it a try. I found this recipe at Betty Crocker site. You can cook this in the oven as the directions state or cook it on the grill. Could even cook it using the beer-can chicken method on the grill or the oven, for even moister chicken.

Steps:
- Line 2-quart bowl or saucepan with 2-gallon resealable food-storage plastic bag. Add water, kosher salt and brown sugar; stir until salt and sugar are dissolved. Stir in beer. Add chicken. Tightly seal bag; refrigerate at least 8 hours but no longer than 24 hours.
- Line 13x9-inch pan with foil. Remove chicken from brine; rinse thoroughly under cool running water and pat dry with paper towels. Discard brine. Place chicken, breast side up, in pan. Refrigerate uncovered 1 hour to dry chicken skin. Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix all rub ingredients except oil; set aside.
- Heat oven to 375°F Brush oil over chicken. Sprinkle with seasoning mixture; rub into chicken skin. Bake 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes or until juice of chicken is clear when thickest piece is cut to bone (170°F for breasts; 180°F for thighs and drumsticks). Let stand 15 minutes for easiest carving.
- Time-Saver Tip:
- You can skip the step of refrigerating the brined chicken 1 hour to dry the skin. This step results in a crispier skin, a technique used in Chinese cooking.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, stir together the baking powder, paprika, lemon zest, sugar, 2 tablespoons salt and some pepper. Set aside.
- Remove the giblets from inside the chicken. Rinse the chicken with cool water, inside and out, and pat dry with paper towels, inside and out.
- Sprinkle the chicken evenly with the salt mixture. Place chicken in the refrigerator, uncovered, for 12 to 24 hours to dry brine.
- Place an oven rack in the lower third of the oven; remove the other racks. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Pour about half of the beer into a glass--and drink it. Place the half-empty can on a baking sheet or roasting pan and drop the garlic cloves into the can. Place the chicken on the can so it's "standing." (If you're cooking for a crowd, this is a good way of roasting more than one chicken at a time.)
- Bake until an instant-read thermometer registers 165 to 170 degrees F when inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, 75 to 90 minutes.
- Allow to rest, covered in foil, while you make the Beer Gravy. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pan drippings for the gravy.
- Carve the chicken and serve with Beer Gravy.
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour to make a roux: cook, stirring constantly, until the flour is slightly brown. Whisk in the brown sugar to combine. Add the chicken stock, beer and drippings and whisk to combine.
- Add the soy sauce, Worcestershire and horseradish and whisk to incorporate. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook, whisking, until the gravy thickens, about 3 minutes.

BEER-BRINED BEER-CAN CHICKEN
Tons of tailgaters and backyard grillers swear by beer-can chicken, but we've always wondered if the technique is more fun than function. Sticking a whole chicken on a can of beer is a cool party trick, but is it the best way to cook the bird? We tested the method every which way, and the truth is, the beer doesn't impart much flavor or moisture. The beer reaches only about 165 degrees F-not even boiling. The can, however, serves an important purpose: It lets you cook the chicken in an upright position so the skin gets crisp all over, similar to a rotisserie chicken. (Translation: You could actually use a soda can, with similar results.) For real beer flavor, we beer-brined the bird before grilling and filled the drip pan with beer, too.

Steps:
- Make the brine: Combine the beer, brown sugar, salt, orange zest, orange juice and cardamom pods in a bowl; stir until the sugar and salt dissolve.
- Put the chicken in a gallon-size resealable plastic bag and add the brine; seal and refrigerate 2 hours.
- Prepare the grill: For a charcoal grill, pile 3 to 4 pounds briquettes in the grill; ignite and let burn until the coals are ashy. For a gas grill, preheat to high.
- Prepare the chicken: Remove from the brine and pat dry; reserve the orange zest and cardamom. Rub the olive oil all over the skin. Loosen the skin on the breasts and legs with your fingers; rub 1 garlic clove under and over the skin. Combine the brown sugar, coriander, cumin, paprika, allspice, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper; rub under and over the skin of the chicken and inside the cavity.
- Pour half of the remaining beer can into a disposable 8-inch-square pan. Add the reserved orange zest to the pan. Poke 3 or 4 holes into the top sides of the beer can using a paring knife. Add the remaining 3 smashed garlic cloves and the reserved cardamom pods to the can.
- For a charcoal grill, bank the coals to both sides in two piles; nestle the pan with the beer between the coals and replace the top grill grate. For a gas grill, reduce the heat to medium on one side and turn off the burners on the other; place the pan under the grate on the unlit side.
- Set the chicken over the beer can, inserting the can into the cavity so 1 inch of the can is exposed. Set on the grill grates over the drip pan so the chicken balances on the can and legs like a tripod. Cover the grill and cook until the chicken is golden brown and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165 degrees F. If using charcoal, this will take about 1 hour 20 minutes; add a handful of briquettes to each bank of coals every 30 minutes to maintain the heat. If using gas, it will take about 1 hour 5 minutes; carefully rotate the chicken halfway through.
- Remove the chicken from the grill, discard the can and transfer to a cutting board; let rest 10 minutes before carving.
