CAUTION : Non-halal. Contains Alcohol. Not suitable for kids.
Carlsberg Chicken, from the name, you know this is definitely going to have beer as part of the ingredients. No, no, no, you won't get drunk by eating this. Although I just mentioned that you won't get drunk, but I think this dish is not suitable for kids. We heard that alcohol will evaporates or dissipates during cooking process & what remains is the flavour. That's not true. Alcohol content will still retained in the dish.
It can take up to 3 hours in a casserole or stew, in order for alcohol to actually burn off in a dish.
For this dish where cooking time is only about 20-25mins, that's means around 35% of Alcohol content still retained. However, I only using 1/2 a can of the beer. That's why I said you won't get drunk. (A can of Carlsberg beer only contains 5% of alcohol)
Note that no water is used in the recipe, only Beer. You might taste a slight, very slight bitterness in it.
