Beer, delicious, Dinner, Family, Food, wine

Lockdown.   We were all glued to the TV 5pm 23rd March 2020.  Our Boris Johnson, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.  The children did not make a sound.  The day we all changed forever

As life progressed through the lockdown we have all come to be like Darwins Finches – evolving in our environments.  So far life is pretty much the same.  The major difference is #Shopping, which I adore.  Don’t take me to Shopping Malls or large department stores – All I want is Food Markets & Food Halls !!!

I miss shopping for food so much I find it’s the one and only upsetting part of Lockdown.  I now have a Vegetable / Fruit Man who drops the most delicious fresh vegetables and fruit at my door.  I have my most amazing HERO in My Butcher Matthew https://www.facebook.com/mitchellsbutchers533/.  Matthew Mitchell’s butchers Lytham Road Blackpool has been my butcher for years – now he delivers to my doorstep.  I adore my sweet sweet Milkman he is also a star and supplies the freshest milk and cream three times a week to my front door.

I bake bread 4 days a week.  I am love being home in the Kitchen.  I have seven to feed in my family home now and we are here for the Lockdown and beyond.

Here is my list of dinners we have had each day during lockdown.   Lucky for us the family meals have not changed too much though.  My favourite time of day is when the family sitting and eat together each evening ……….

My First Beer -Can Chicken

My First Beer -Can Chicken

1 whole Chicken

EVOO Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Whole Garlic bulb half crushed  half whole

 1 440mL beer can2 sprigs fresh rosemary
Salt and Pepper
Brush chicken all over with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper

Slip some crushed Garlic under the breast skin -rub the chicken with the rest of the crushed garlicCrack 0pen the beer can, pour out about 1/2 cup of the beer into a Glass and drink it  Add the remaining  whole garlic cloves and rosemary.Hold the chicken above the can of beer and slide the chicken over the can. Fold the wings back behind the chicken. Make sure the legs are in front of the can, supporting the chicken. Place the chicken inside a pan. Stood Up – I now have a Beer-can chicken holder (Amazon)Place the pan on the grates of a hot BBQ, put lid on and cook the chicken until golden brown and the internal temperature registers 160 degrees F in the breast area and 175 degrees F in the thigh area on an instant-read thermometer, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the grill (be careful not to spill the contents of the beer can as it will be very hot) and let rest for 10 minutes before carving.I have been playing around with different flavorings you can add lemon or oranges to the can – plus different herbs

Enjoy x
