Beer Brined Chicken

This is one of my husband's recipes. He used a scottish wee heavy for the beer. This is not a recipe on how to cook your chicken, but just how to prepare it. You can grill, bake, fry or whatever after it's done soaking, although we normally grill. My husband soaks the chicken in a large container that he sits in the refrigerator.
