BBQ Marinade – 99 Bottles of Beer in the Fridge

Marinate chicken thighs in beer for tender, flavorful meat — and to clear out leftover beer from your fridge.
By Jerri Green

make your carnivores happy and clean that spare beer out of your fridge

It never fails that when we have a dinner party we end up with several stray beers in our fridge. We buy some, the guest bring some. No one six pack ever gets finished. So, we inevitably have a smorgasbord of barley and hops taking up valuable real estate in the icebox. As such, I am always on the look out for a new recipe that helps me get rid of a bottle and free up some space for something more important.

Lucky for me my carnivore hubby is always up for grilling some sort of meat marinated in beer. I came across just such a thing in his favorite cookbook, Weber’s Real Grilling. I adjusted it just a bit (as usual).

You can probably get your carnivore to down another beer while he grills, and maybe one more at the table. And hey – just like that – three less beers in the fridge. What do you know? There may just be room for dessert after all!
