Ginger Ale Can Chicken Recipes

5-SPICE GINGER ALE-CAN CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place chicken into a one-gallon freezer bag. Pour about half the ginger ale into a large bowl, reserving remainder of ginger ale in the can for cooking the chicken. Stir soy sauce, vinegar, green onions, 1 tablespoon salt, 5-spice blend, peppercorns, garlic, and bay leaves with the ginger ale; pour into the bag with the chicken, seal the bag, and turn to assure the chicken is coated in marinade. Refrigerate for 2 hours to overnight. Adjust oven racks so that only rack is on the bottom level. Preheat oven to 375°F ( 190°C). Remove chicken from marinade and pat dry. Rub olive oil onto chicken skin; season with salt and pepper. Discard marinade. Place ginger ale can into a baking dish. Gently lower the chicken onto the can so that it goes into the cavity and the chicken stands upright in the baking dish. Roast in the preheated oven until a thermometer inserted into the meatiest part of a thigh reads 165°F (75°C). Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before carving.
