Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 pound slab or thick-cut bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs (about 2 1/2 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
All-purpose flour, for dredging
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 (12-ounce) bottle beer (preferably brown ale)
1 cup frozen pearl onions, thawed
1/2 pound small red-skinned new potatoes, halved
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
2 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
4 sprigs fresh thyme
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and dredge in flour, shaking off the excess. Add the olive oil to the drippings in the pot. Add the chicken in batches and cook over medium-high heat until golden on the bottom, 6 to 7 minutes, then flip and sear the other side, about 1 minute.
  • Add the beer, onions, potatoes, mustard, sugar, thyme and 1 cup water to the pot and stir, making sure the chicken is fully submerged. Simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Discard the thyme and stir in the bacon and parsley.

I'm not a big fan of beer, but this dish was surprisingly good. The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the sauce was rich and savory. I would definitely make this again, even if I had to use a different type of beer.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my chicken turned out dry. Not sure what went wrong.

This beer-braised chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender and packed with flavor. The sauce was rich and savory, and the chicken was cooked to perfection. I served it over mashed potatoes and it was a hit with my family. Will definitely be making this a
