Crockpot beer chicken

I keep hearing about recipes like this, so I figured I would give it a shot.

4 chicken breasts
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 large sprig rosemary
1 can beer

Put the chicken breasts in the crockpot. Mine started out frozen, I'm curious if that will turn out well. Pour the beer over the chicken, sprinkle with the spices and drop the rosemary in. Set it on high for two hours then low for four hours. You can set it on low for 8 hours if you're going to be gone all day.

This would be super good with a can of black beans with about 1/8 tsp of each spice. Yum.

I let the chicken go way too long tonight, as the football game turned into extended happy hour. It was a tiny bit dry, but damn that flavor is there.

  1. Interesting note: after the leftovers including remaining beer sauce chilled out in the fridge for a couple of days, the dryness is totally gone.
