Great recipe!! I have used everything from a lager beer to a stout and has turned out wonderful. I have grilled and cooked this in the oven. Both were hits. I also took the same brine recipe and rub and used it on a pork butt roast. Great sandwiches! Thanks for this outstanding a simple recipe.

This is great grilled chicken. No sauce needed here! Just don't grill at too high of a temperature. My gas grill read 350 degrees most of the time and it was just right. The overnight brine did not hurt either.

This is one of the worst things I have ever eaten. The chicken is so salty! It also tastes like beer so bad no one would eat it. I followed the recipe exactly! So what gives? Why was this so horrible

The tastiest grilled chicken I've tasted. Went over well with the kids too! Used a black ale. I cooked it in the oven then finished it off on the grill while camping. I'd make it again!!

This was really tasty. I halved the recipe and let this brine for 24 hours. It was a little salty, but not bad. I did use kosher salt. Very easy and I cooked this on my stove top grill pan

We love this recipe... the chicken comes out so moist and tender. I divided the recipe in half and just brined some leg quarters. Also it's a great way to use up leftover beer from summer parties.

I tried this recipe out on company and it was a hugh hit. They all said it was the best chicken they have ever had. I cooked some of it in the oven and some on the grill. Both were delicious. Several copies of the recipe went home with the guest.

Just made this recipe for our Labor Day Party and what a hit. I used a german dark beer for the brine. Everyone was asking for the recipe.

When brining, it is also important that you not use regular table salt instead of the kosher coarse salt called for. Kosher salt has a softer flavor than regular table salt. DeboraHarv614, did you use regular table salt? If so, that probably explains why your final product was overly salty.

Made this chicken as directed and it was really good. Always looking for a new way to make chicken. To the previous reviewer, DeboraHarv614. If your beer is high in sodium, you need a new beer. Most brands of beer have a negligible amount of sodium, generally directly from whatever water is used to brew it because some sodium naturally occurs in water. Some brewers add salt to achieve the flavor they want, but that is normally a tiny amount. Brining requires salt to work properly. The salt draws out the meats natural juices and that is replaced by the flavorful brine. Brining without salt is just marinating. Try this again, only brine for a shorter period of time and be sure to rinse the chicken when before cooking.
