This will keep the roasted bird will be still moist inside but tender yet crisp outside.
Great as a main meal and perfect if there are any leftovers for all kinds of salads.
This even tastes great cold in a sandwich! There is also another bonus recipe for chicken pieces without beer and baked to perfection.
Scroll down to the recipe card for these yummy roasted chicken recipes.
Tender and Moist
This beer-baked chicken with paprika is so tender and moist and the juice is very flavorful.
This chicken just melts in your melts it's roast perfectly in a large baking bag or in a roasting pan with a tent of foil.
Either way the beer keeps this roasted whole chicken juicy throughout the whole bird.
The Bag
You can find these large roasting bags just about at any supermarket.
I like the ease of clean-up and the way it tenderizes any kind of meat that's cooked in them.
Since we eat a lot of chicken, this is one of the best-tasting whole roasted chickens with lots of flavor recipes.
I have two recipes below and they are great with both whole chicken or pieces, however, they are both completely different methods and recipes for you to choose from.
Tips
- you can also use chicken parts and air fry them at 375 degrees for 18 minutes
- for best results use a full-bodied dark beer
- always use a meat thermometer when the chicken reaches 165 degrees it's cooked and safe to eat
- there are two recipes one with and without beer in this post
- keep all leftovers in the refrigerator
Other Suggestions
- baked vegetables around the pan for side dishes like potatoes and carrots
- for a spicier chicken used smoked paprika with a dash of cayenne pepper
- for cajun style sprinkle the chicken with cajun seasoning along with the recipe provided
- boneless chicken breast is perfect for slicing and using on a salad, for a chicken taco, or in fried rice

Seriously Tender Chicken
If you are looking for the tastiest baked moist and tender chicken you found it and it's super easy!
I love carving this up leaving it in the juice and then next day it's terrific in a club sandwich or even making chicken salad shredded!
Another great use for leftovers is chopping the chicken up and making a pot pie using refrigerated pie dough a jar of chicken gravy and mixed vegetables, it's good for a second meal!
