I think I finally got it figured out. Let me know what you think. Credit to my better half for perfecting the gravy.
Brine
3 bottles Schlafly No. 15 beer (this is key)
3 cups chicken broth
2/3 cup salt
1/2 cup sugar
Good amount of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves
Mix brine at let chicken marinate for 6-8 hours. Mix 1-2 sticks softened butter, fresh chopped parsley, and a few cloves crushed garlic. Spread on outside, under skin, and in cavity of a whole chicken. Roast chicken with 3/4 cup of broth and 3/4 cup leftover brine. Bake at 375 for 20 minutes per pound.
Gravy
3 tblsp butter
2 tblsp flour
3/4 cup drippings from roast pan
1/3 cup milk
Make roux with butter and flour. Mix in chicken drippings, then whisk in milk. Season with a little salt, pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon, and garlic powder. Serve with chicken.
