Here are our recipes for chicken: in Dark Beer . with Garlic & Rosemary
Garlic Rosemary Chicken
Preheat oven to 500F
Ingredients
- chicken (¼ chicken per person)
- crushed garlic (1 tsp per person)
- fresh rosemary, chopped (½ tsp per person)
- coursely ground pepper
- powdered garlic
- dry rosemary
- bit of olive oil
- WHOLE cloves garlic (5 WHOLE cloves per person)
- fresh rosemary sprigs (one sprig per person)
Preparation
- Stuff crushed garlic and chopped fresh rosemary under the skin of the chicken.
- Sprinkle the outside of each piece with coursely ground pepper, powdered garlic, dry rosemary, and a bit of olive oil.
- Put the chicken into a cast iron pan with 5 WHOLE cloves garlic and one sprig of fresh rosemary for each person.
- Put into 500 F oven and turn down immediately to 350F; bake for about 45 min.
The garlics should get brown, as you want them to carmelize. The rosemary also gets brown and crispy when roasted and is a delicious accompaniment.
Or you can barbecue the chicken instead. Skewer the garlics and paint with a little oil. (But the rosemary sprigs won't work on the barbecue.) This recipe would probably work with game hens just as well.
Serve with a good rich red wine, crusty bread and dilled green beans.
