The Greek Food » Chicken » “Drunken Chicken”-Chicken with Beer and rice

The following is a simple recipe for cooking chicken a little bit differently and fits perfectly to all those people that want to try different combinations

I am a long time hard-core fan of beer so every time I see a recipe that consists beer in the ingredients makes more eager to try it. As a recipe my guess is that it has German roots -as they are used to cook in Beer- but then again the most important thing I guess is the result… and that was arguably pretty good.

The recipe is really plain and simple. Its one of those that you don’t need to much but still you can get a beautiful plate to impress, that’s why I kind of like it
