Chicken Maryland Roasted In A Bbq Beer Sauce

• 2 pieces Chicken Maryland
• 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
• 1/2 cup White Flour
• 1/2 tablespoon Smoked Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Freshly ground pepper
• 150 milliliters Light Beer
• 1 1/2 tablespoons BBQ sauce
• 1 bunch Asparagus
• 1 pinch Salt

1. For the rub mix the plain flour, smoked paprika, freshly ground pepper and salt all together in a bowl.
2. Coat the chicken Maryland pieces on both sides with the rub and shake off the excess flour.
3. In a thick bottom pan, add some olive oil and brown each side of the chicken.
4. Transfer the chicken portions into a grill pan.
5. While the pan is still on the heat, add a little beer to scrape off the browned bits of chicken skin, rub & fatty juices.
6. Add the rest of the rub to the pan, and slowly stir in the beer.
7. Allow the sauce to thicken and add some BBQ sauce too, to sweeten the flavour a tad.
8. Take the sauce off the heat and pour over the chicken in the grill pan.
9. Break some fresh asparagus sticks in halves and arrange them around the chicken.
10. Pre-heat the oven to 180 deg C and place the grill tray on the middle shelf.
11. Allow to bake for 25 minutes and grill for a few minutes to brown off the chicken, and release the fats from the skin. This adds a lot of flavour to the asparagus and makes them heavenly!!
