Grilled beer chicken is the quintessential summer dish: tender and juicy meat, marinated in craft beer with garlic, aromatic herbs, and spices, then perfectly grilled. The beer softens the chicken fibers and creates an irresistible caramelized glaze.
Perfect for a garden barbecue or a summer dinner on the terrace — ready in less than an hour (plus marinating time).
Why marinate chicken in beer?
The natural enzymes in malt and the acidity of the beer tenderize the meat proteins, making it more tender and flavorful than a classic marinade. During cooking, the alcohol completely evaporates, leaving only the aromas.
Which beer to use?
For this recipe, we recommend a light craft beer — a Lager or a Blonde Ale with good body and malty notes. Discover the selection of light beers on Maltese to find the perfect one for your grill.
