guest51220 Hi there,

I spent some time in China a few years ago because my mom was teaching english there. We lived in Hebei province, in Qinhuangdao.

Anyways, there was a little restaurant there...I never got the name...but they served two dishes that were absolutely amazing and no amount of google searches have ever helped me find them. With my luck I will never know, maybe they were house specials.

So one of them was called beer chicken, except it wasn't baked...it was definitely crunchy and fried. Very very good!

The second one was a vegetable dish...it was very simple, seemed like just greens and lots of garlic...i've never found the vegetable here in Canada but it reminded me of spinach.

Anyways, if anyone knows how to make the chicken I described...I would love to know how. Thank you!

GUEST10132 Ingredients
1 (4-pound) whole chicken
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons of your favorite dry spice rub
1 can beer
Directions
Remove neck and giblets from chicken and discard. Rinse chicken inside and out, and pat dry with paper towels. Rub chicken lightly with oil then rub inside and out with salt, pepper and dry rub. Set aside.

Open beer can and take several gulps (make them big gulps so that the can is half full). Place beer can on a solid surface. Grabbing a chicken leg in each hand, plunk the bird cavity over the beer can. Transfer the bird-on-a-can to your grill and place in the center of the grate, balancing the bird on its 2 legs and the can like a tripod.

Cook the chicken over medium-high, indirect heat (i.e. no coals or burners on directly under the bird), with the grill cover on, for approximately 1 1/4 hours or until the internal temperature registers 165 degrees F in the breast area and 180 degrees F in the thigh, or until the thigh juice runs clear when stabbed with a sharp knife. Remove from grill and let rest for 10 minutes before carving.

GUEST10132 INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)
1 (3 pound) chicken, split in half lengthwise
garlic powder to taste
ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch seasoned salt
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle beer
1/2 cup butter
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon seasoned pepper
DIRECTIONS
Preheat grill for high heat.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the beer, butter, 1 tablespoon garlic powder and seasoned pepper. Heat in the microwave for 2 minutes, or until butter is melted and mixture is hot. Set aside.
Season chicken generously with the garlic powder, ground black pepper and seasoned salt to taste.
Brush the grilling surface with oil. Place chicken onto the grill bone side down. Close the lid, and cook for about 45 minutes, or until the chicken skin is starting to blister.
Turn the chicken over, so it is bone side up. They will be black and charred, but the chicken meat will be fine. Pierce the membrane of the bone with a fork, and ladle some of the beer mixture into the 'cup' formed by the bones. Throw a teaspoon or so of garlic powder on the coals, close the lid, and seal the vents.
Repeat ladling the beer mixture into the chicken, and throwing garlic powder onto the coals every 5 minutes, until the mixture is gone. The chicken should be tender and juices should run clear.
