90 minBeer does magical things to barbecue sauce.
This tangy marinade combines a whole can of beer with dark molasses, bright lemon juice, and ketchup for a sauce that tenderizes while it flavors.
Let the chicken soak overnight, then hit the grill and keep basting for layers of sticky, caramelized goodness.
Grillmaster Tips
- Use any lager or ale you’d drink; avoid hoppy IPAs
- Marinate at least overnight for best flavor penetration
- Baste every 10-15 minutes for maximum sauce buildup
- Watch for flare-ups; the molasses can burn quickly over high heat
