Pin This RecipeI still had some beer in the fridge from the Beer-B-Q chicken we made for Labor Day, so I decided to try another beer marinated chicken. I made this marinade an Italian marinade with lots of garlic and Italian seasoning. My favorite flavors!
I let the chicken marinate overnight to get maximum flavor in the chicken. A quick tip on grilling chicken – pound the chicken to an even thickness before marinating. It really helps the chicken cook evenly and not dry out.
As you can see, we grilled a lot of chicken. We ate it for lunch all week. It was super yummy! It was really juicy and packed full of flavor. We both gave this chicken two thumbs up!

This is a perfect marinate … we love it for any cut of checked for our grill, oven or smoker!
Perfect… we’ve used for pieces with bone in … and boneless – used on thighs & breasts and it’s great! Follow exactly & love it!
Never have enough chicken recipes. It's so budget friendly and versatile. This recipe is simple yet very delicious. It gives the chicken such wonderful flavor, and it came out nice and juicy. Kids and hubby approved!
If I want to do this with 3 chicken breast vs a whole chicken, how would you adjust the recipe?
just made this personally I would back off on the lemon but hubs said just right! 🙂
LiveLaughLove – you can cook the chicken in the skillet and/or oven. I like to cook the chicken a few minutes on each side and finish it off in the oven at 400 degrees for 10 minutes.
This sounds so good, one problem though, we live in an apartment and can't have a grill. Is this something I can do in the oven or a frying pan?
Tricia – I use whatever is in the fridge. I've used Michelob Ultra and Abita Amber. I think bone in chicken will work fine. You will just have to cook it longer than the boneless.
How prevalent is the beer flavor? I HATE beer but with the other seasonings is it the top taste or not?? Could you sub white wine or chicken broth?
This sound delish!! What type of beer did you use? We will probably use the bone-in chicken. I'm sure that would be ok, huh?
thank u
Lynne – it is 12oz. the 1 got missed when I copied it over. I corrected it.
Sounds like a real winner! I love your tip about pounding the breasts to an even thickness too.
