Best 5 Grilled Ginger Beer Chicken Recipes

GINGER BEER CAN GRILLED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Light 1 side of grill, heating to 400° to 475° (medium-high to high) heat; leave other side unlit, placing disposable baking pan under grill grate. Stir together salt and next 5 ingredients; sprinkle mixture inside cavity and on outside of each chicken.
• Reserve just ¾ cup ginger ale from each can to put toward the 2 cups needed in glaze. Place chickens upright onto each can, fitting can into cavity. Pull legs forward to form a tripod.
• Pour water to a depth of 1 inch into disposable pan. Place chickens upright on unlit side of grill above pan. Grill, covered with grill lid and rotating chickens occasionally, 1 hour and 20 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes or until golden and a meat thermometer inserted in thickest portion registers 165°. Let stand 10 minutes. Remove chickens from cans, and carve. Serve with Ginger Ale Glaze.
• Stir ginger, brown sugar, grated ginger, and ground red pepper together in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat to medium, and cook, stirring occasionally, 15 to 20 minutes or until reduced to about ¼ cup.

ZESTY GINGER BEER BBQ PULLED CHICKEN SANDWICH

Steps:

• For the chicken:
• In a medium saucepan place the ginger beer, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, hoisin sauce, spice powder, orange juice, garlic, lime juice, onion powder, brown sugar, salt, honey, and pepper. Bring to a simmer on low heat for 15 minutes or until thickened. Add chicken and keep warm.
• For sweet potato bacon biscuits:
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a small skillet, caramelize onion with olive oil and sugar. In the bowl of a food processor combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt and pulse to combine. Add butter and pulse until it resembles coarse crumbs. Remove contents of food processor to a medium bowl. Fold in bacon and onion. Combine sweet potato puree and buttermilk. Pour into dry ingredients to form a soft dough. Place dough on a floured surface and pat into 1-inch thickness. Cut out biscuits with a 2-inch cutter and arrange in a buttered skillet and place into the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Allow biscuits to cool slightly before making sandwich.
