Beer can be used in many recipes as a substitute for wine

. The flavor of the beer will flavor the food. Don't use a beer you wouldn't drink in cooking, just like you wouldn't use an inferior wine. The alcohol in the beer burns off or evaporates when heat is applied.

Bake for 30 minutes. Raise heat to 350. Remove pan from oven and place on stove, add sliced vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, cabbage, or squash. If necessary add another bottle of beer so liquid nearly covers vegetables. Bring to a boil. Cover and put pan back in oven for another 30 minutes.

Heat grill to 350 degrees if electric or gas grill or until charcoal is covered with a fine gray ash. Use whole frying chickens about 3 pounds each. You'll need one chicken for every two people.

Place each chicken over an open can of beer as if the chicken was sitting on the beer can. The can of beer is inside the bird's cavity and the bird should remain upright. Place each bird on the grill and close grill cover. Check every 15 minutes. Chickens should be done in 45 minutes give or take 15 minutes.
