Beer-Braised Chicken Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

• ½ lb Bacon
• 2 T Oil
• 8 Bone-In, Skin-On Chicken Thighs
• ⅓ Cup Flour
• ⅓ Cup Cornstarch
• 2 12 oz Bottles Brown Ale
• 1 Yellow Onion, Sliced
• 1 lb Red Potatoes, Diced
• ¼ Cup Brown Sugar
• 3 Sprigs Thyme
• 1 tsp Worcestershire
• Place a large oven-safe stockpot or dutch oven over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until brown, about 5 minutes. Set aside, leaving drippings in the pot. Crumble when cool.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Add the oil to the pot. Combine the flour and cornstarch; season with salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture and brown in the bacon fat mixture. Set aside. Cook the onions in the bacon fat until tender.
2. Heat oven to 325°F.
3. Combine the beer, brown sugar, worcestershire, and 2 cups water. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the chicken back into the pot and pour the beer mixture over it to cover. Add the thyme sprigs. Braise in the oven for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the bacon and potatoes and cook for another 30 minutes or until tender.
