Oven Roasted Beer Chicken Recipe – 3 Points

By

If you were a fan of my Crock Pot Beer Chicken, then you must try this Oven Roasted Beer Chicken too!

It’s the faster version that still maintains that wonderful beer flavor. I have made this with a variety of chicken pieces as well as with just the chicken breasts, and it all turns out wonderful, so feel free to use any cut you like.

When I’m watching my Points, I use just the chicken breasts, as they are the leanest.

Perfect for the beer-loving dad, this would make a fabulous Weight Watchers Father Day recipe – dad will never even know he’s eating a low calorie dish!

I’m also planning on using the sauce as a marinade and grilling the chicken for a 4th of July BBQ this year, and I am confident that will be a HUUUUGE hit.

I’ve made this using Guiness, Coronoa Light, and Sam Adams, and all were equally good. I’d suggest using a quality beer, if you can. Serve with some garlic bread and grilled veggies for a complete meal. Enjoy!

    When I poured the beer into the butter and garlic it became this horrible mess of foam. Does anyone know why this happened? HELP
