Mary's Beer Can Chicken (Spice Blend will be in a thread for spices)
Sister Mary’s – Recipes
Ingredients
1 3-5 pound hen
1 recipe Mary’s Roasted chicken spice blend ( this should be more than enough for 1 hen)
1 can beer (any kind)
2 sprigs fresh rosemary (about 4-5 inches long)
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 medium onion, slice half into 1 inch slices, set the other half aside
1 large clove garlic, crushed
Olive oil
1 32 ounce container chicken stock
1-2 teaspoons chicken base
1/8 to ¼ cup cornstarch
Enough water to make a slurry
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 375 F. Rinse chicken and pat dry. Set aside. Open beer can pour half out. Place beer can into holder. Add 1 inch slices of onion, rosemary thyme and garlic clove. Set on baking sheet or in roasting pan. Set aside.
2. Drizzle enough olive oil over the chicken to lightly cover the skin. Season inside and out with plenty of the roasted chicken spice blend, and set on beer can holder.
3. Open the top of the chicken and look at the opening in the neck. Cut the other half of the onion to fit that hole and push it down into the hole to plug it. Pull the skin back over top of the onion. This will keep the steam and seasonings into the cavity. Put chicken into oven. After 1st hour turn oven down to 350 F. and cook an additional 1 to 1 ½ hours.
4. Remove beer can from chicken; remove chicken from roasting pan to a plate. Set aside to rest.
5. Scrape drippings from roasting pan into a saucepan. Over medium high heat add about ½ of the chicken stock into the pan. Add seasonings and chicken base to taste. Bring to a boil. Stirring constantly slowly add cornstarch and water mixture a little at a time until chicken mixture is as thick as you like. (if you don’t want gravy omit step 5)

Catalyst0527 Sounds Wonderful! I love asian dishes and hate all the SALT that is added in the restaurants. It would be Wonderful to have some Authentic recipes to work with.
I would love to help you learn some new recipes too. I Love to cook, I cook mostly for my husband and I, I do cook for his LARGE family every now and then. They are smitten. Cause I bring a lot of veggies and usually do the traditional fried catfish and chicken wings. LOL! So we bring salmon and grill it, shrimp, and lots of veggies. And also cook for friends every chance I get.
I collect recipes, and cookbooks. So if I don't have a particular recipe I can usually find it. But on the down side. I travel with my husband and we are usually away from the house, so I am usually limited to the recipes that I have entered into my pc. Speaking of I used to use a software called Mastercook. I crashed it 3 times and have given up using that. So, now I have created a template for Microsoft Word that I enter my recipes into and save them all organized on my hard drive. So if you keep recipes, and need a way to store them I can send you my template if you like
As for the cookcentral.com I will have to check that one out. I think you will also like cooking.com forum it is a great site and everyone there is REALLY nice!

Homemade Rice Pilaf
Servings 4
Ingredients
1 ½ tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup yellow, minced
¼ teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cups long grain rice
1 ½ cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 bay leaf
1 sprig fresh rosemary (about 4” sprig)

Note If you are using this rice as a side for a meal without a sauce or gravy use 1 ¾ cups chicken broth as it is a bit dry.

8 pieces of chicken thighs
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp plain flour
1 litre of red wine
2 medium carrots
15 baby onions
2 celery cticks
salt
ground black pepper
fresh parsley, chopped.
First bring the red wine to boil, to remove the alcohol until it is reduced by a third. Leave to cool. Prepare all the vegetables and cut into chunks. Peal and leave the onions whole. Wash the chicken pieces and mix with the vegetables. Pour the wine over the chicken and vegetable mixture. Cover and leave to marinade in the fridge over night. Then put the chicken and vegetables in a colander to drain at least 45 minutes. Reserve the liquid.
Dry roast the flour in a non stick pan on the stove until it is light golden colour, set aside.
Fry the chicken pieces in olve oil on a high heat turning each side for 5-7 minutes. Add the vegetables and cook for further 5 minutes. Add the flour and whisk in the wine little at a time to make a smooth sauce, add salt and pepper and mix well. Transfer it to an oven proof dish, cover and cook in the preheated oven,170C for 30-45 minutes.Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve piping hot with crusty bread or roast potatoes.
