Beer Marinade for Chicken or Pork Roast Recipe-March 2024-www.zdask.com

　　I like to use a light beer, but heavier and darker beer adds more complexity.

Ingredients

makes about 2 cups, enough for 3 to 4 pounds of chicken or pork roast

　　1 1/2 cups beer

　　2 tablespoons brown sugar

　　1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

　　1 teaspoon peperoncino flakes, ground to a powder

　　3 garlic cloves, sliced

　　2 teaspoons kosher salt

　　4 fresh bay leaves, or 6 dried bay leaves

　　1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

Step 1

Stir all the ingredients together in a bowl until mixed well.

Step 2

Set the meat in a plastic bag, and pour in the marinade. Seal the bag, set in a bowl, and refrigerate overnight. Dump the meat and marinade into a baking pan, and bake as usual.
