I am not much of a beer drinker, so I am not sure why I
gravitated to this recipe, but I am glad I did.
It is a really simple weeknight meal that can be made in less than 30
minutes. The sauce is a combination of
beer, honey, whole-grain mustard, and soy sauce. It is a great combination of sweet, salty,
and tangy.
I think you could probably use any beer here but I used Blue Moon, since that was within my limited knowledge of beer. It is light and refreshing, so it does not
overpower the sauce. The original recipe
did not include marinating the chicken, but since chicken can be dry I thought
that might help. Blue Moon is usually
served with a fresh orange slice so I used the zest and juice of an orange in
the marinade along with the beer.
Now I have five Blue Moons in my refrigerator.
