  • Prep Time: 15 min

  • Cook Time: 90 min

  • Serves 6

Ingredients

1 cup pineapple juice

1/2 cup orange juice

3 tbsps. cider vinegar

3 tbsps. honey or agave nectar

2 chipotle chiles in adobo

4 cloves garlic, crushed

1 tbsp. ground oregano

1 tbsp. ground cumin

1 tsp. salt

2 tbsps. vegetable oil

1 cup Citrus Beer, Summer Beer or IPA

SERVE WITH

Shredded cabbage

Avocado slices

Pickled Jalapeno

Radish Slices

Crumbled queso fresco

Chopped Cilantro

Lime slices

Step

In a blender, add the pineapple juice, the orange juice, vinegar, honey, chipotles, garlic, oregano, cumin, and salt. Pulse until almost smooth. While blender is running, add the vegetable oil to make a smooth marinade. Pour the marinade into a resealable zip-top bag. Add the chicken and marinated for at least 2 hours.

Step

Remove the chicken from the marinade. Pour the marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes, then remove from heat and let cool. Add 1 cup beer to the cooled marinade.

Step

Heat your grill or oven to medium heat, 300 to 350 degrees.

Step

Lower the chicken onto the beer-filled food safe grilling stand with the legs on the bottom so the chicken is sitting upright. Set the chicken onto a cast iron skillet and place it on the grill.

Step

Cover the grill and let cook for 45 minutes. After 45 minutes, open the grill and baste with the cooled beer basting marinade every 10 to 15 minutes until chicken is done. Chicken is done when a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 170 degrees. A 4-pound chicken will usually take around 1 1/2 hours.

Step

Remove from chicken from the grill, transfer to a cutting board, and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes.

Step

Slice chicken into slices and serve in corn tortillas with your favorite taco garnishes.
