Easy to prepare, tender, moist grilled chicken. Perfect to take to picnics, tailgate parties, and grillouts. Just toss the prepared resealable bag of chicken in a cooler. When ready, grill it! The beer is what keeps the chicken moist. I add my potatoes and vegetables to the pan drippings to cook. My whole meal is prepared on the grill. Serve with a fresh loaf of bread, butter, and a cold salad.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This recipe is a great way to prepare grilled chicken. Guinness helps to make the chicken moist and adds a slight tangy flavor. We enjoyed the array of veggies it's cooked with. Sweet potatoes, red potatoes, peppers, carrots, and fresh green beans become slightly smoky and absorb the butter from the tray. The selection of veggies creates a colorful and tasty plate. This is a great summertime dinner since everything is cooked on the grill.

How To Make grilled guinness stout chicken with potatoes and vegetables

  • Place chicken and Guinness in a resealable bag.
    1
    Place chicken in a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag. Pour beer over chicken. Let it marinate for at least two hours. Overnight is fine too.
  • Strain chicken; add seasonings, melted butter, and olive oil.
    2
    Dump chicken and beer from the bag into a strainer. With a paper towel, gently pat chicken and return it to the bag. Add seasonings to the melted butter and olive oil. Pour melted butter with seasonings over chicken. Squish squash bag. Place chicken back in the refrigerator for at least two hours or until ready to grill.
  • Sear the chicken on the grill.
    3
    Sear the chicken on each side on the grill racks. Do not burn chicken.
  • Move chicken to a disposable pan, move to a cooler part, and add potatoes, onions, and carrots.
    4
    Move the chicken onto a disposable tin sheet or an old cookie sheet. When all the chicken is seared and on the cookie sheet, turn the grill down to low or move to the cool part of the grill. Add onions, carrots, sweet potatoes, and red potatoes to the contents of the chicken marinade. You want to brown them. If needed, add extra butter and olive oil to prevent the potatoes from burning.
  • Add green peppers and move chicken on top of the veggies.
    5
    When I feel my chicken is almost done, I add my green peppers. I then place the chicken on top of everything, and with the grill on low, I let this cook another 10-15 minutes. I like the green peppers to have a little snap.
  • Put the grill cover down and continue to cook.
    6
    I put the grill cover down at this point. Check the chicken to be sure that it is not getting too brown or starting to burn.
  • Cook until the chicken is 165 degrees F.
    7
    Let the chicken cook until it reaches 165°F on a meat thermometer.
  • Use a slotted spoon to remove the potatoes and vegetables.
    8
    I use a slotted spoon to remove my potatoes and vegetables. This way you do not have all the butter/grease in the bowl/platter.
  • Sprinkle with your favorite seasonings.
    9
    Sprinkle with extra seasoning as needed and/or baste with butter if needed. The olive oil prevents the butter from burning. Butter gives the flavor.
