Ginger Ale Chicken Casserole
Chicken in Ginger Ale has got to be the easiest, tastiest way to serve chicken pieces that is seriously delicious. The best thing about it is that you can make this for 2 people or 200 people without any problem and everyone will love it. This is the perfect holiday recipe. The sauce thicken up beautifully and over a nice pile of rice and a salad, there is no easier way to produce a delicious meal for the masses. (4 -6 people)
What you need
8- 10 chicken portions thighs, legs and breasts skin on
1 packet instant brown onion soup
1 packet instant mushroom soup
1 liter Ginger Ale
The process
Heat your oven to 130 Celsius
Take a large casserole dish that you can place a single layer of chicken pieces to cover the bottom or use more than one oven dish.
Mix together the soup powders and coat eack piece of chicken in a fine coating of the mixture, shake off the excess and the lay skin side up into the casserole dish.
Pour 3/4 of the Ginger Ale into the casserole and then pour the remaing Ginger Ale into whatever is left of the soup powders, give it a mix and then pour over the top of the chicken.
Cover your casserole and pop into the oven for 3 hours. If you don’t have a casserole dish with a lid, cover with foil.
That is that, a delicious meal without any fuss. Serve with rice and salad.
You can fancy it up a bit by adding a few mushrooms 1/2 way through the cooking process or mix in a tablespoon of apricot jam with the ginger ale and soup mix for those who like it a little sweeter.
On a side note, for those of you who make beer can roast chicken, try it with Coke or Ginger Ale for a change!

Hi
I used the normal packets of soups, not the cup of soups. My Spar did not have the royco or knorr brand so I bought the Spar brand and it’s great.
Hi Graham, What do you mean when you say ‘1 packet instant brown onion soup,
1 packet instant mushroom soup’. Are you referring to something like Cup o’ Soup? Or the Knorr instant soups. Sorry for the brand names here!
Moira
Hi Moira, thanks for highlighting possible confusion, it can be any soup pack but not a cuppa soup, must be a something like the Knorr instant soup. Enjoy the weekend G
Tried this on Monday and must say for so few ingredients – it was yummy

Hi Graham, this is so similar to my favourite recipe, you should try it! For every 4 – 5 pieces of chicken: Mix together 500ml coke, 250 ml cream, a packet of brown onion soup and some chicken spice. Pour over the chicken, button mushrooms, 1 chopped onion and 8-10 baby potatoes, all in the same dish for around 45 mins to an hour. Served over rice or mash. Delicious!
Hi Elisna, that sound like my kinda holiday cooking.. 1 dish no fuss and delicious, will try it. Off to CT tomorrow so will be tried very soon. Happy days G
