Directions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the chicken pieces in a single layer in a large baking dish.
- 2
In a bowl, combine the poultry seasoning, oregano, parsley, grated onion, garlic, mayonnaise, and softened butter. Mix into a smooth, creamy paste.
- 3
Pour in the beer and stir well, then coat each chicken piece generously with the marinade.
- 4
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes, turning the pieces once halfway through.
- 5
Remove the foil and discard most of the cooking liquid, leaving just a thin layer to prevent sticking.
- 6
Return to the oven uncovered for 15 minutes until deeply golden and cooked through. Serve hot.
💡 Chef's Tip
Use a light lager for a mild flavour or an amber ale for more depth. The mayonnaise is the secret to remarkably moist, tender meat.
