Beer Chicken

Ingredients

• 6 chicken legs
• 6 chicken thighs
• 2 onions
• 1 L red beer (Good quality; referred to as red beer in the text.)
• 0.5 cucchiaio honey (The text states “1/2 tablespoons”; the instructions refer to one spoonful.)
• salt (As needed; to season the chicken while browning.)
• pepper (As needed; use generously according to the instructions.)
• fresh thyme (A generous amount, leaves picked; added after turning off the heat.)
• water (A little, only if the preparation becomes too dry.)

Steps

1. 1

   Heat a large skillet. Add the chicken legs and thighs and brown them well.

2. 2

   Turn the chicken, season it with salt, and finish browning. Temporarily remove it from the skillet.

3. 3

   Add the onions to the skillet, using the fat released by the chicken, and brown them.

4. 4

   Add the honey and let it caramelize with the onions.

5. 5

   Pour in the red beer to deglaze. Add plenty of pepper and let the alcohol evaporate.

6. 6

   Return the chicken to the skillet. Lower the heat and cook for 40 minutes.

7. 7

   If the preparation becomes too dry during cooking, add a little water.

8. 8

   When the chicken is cooked, increase the heat and reduce the sauce.

9. 9

   Turn off the heat and add plenty of fresh thyme leaves.

10. 10

    Serve in a bowl and pour the sauce over it. The creator suggests serving the chicken with mashed potatoes.

Notes

The amount of honey is listed as “1/2 tablespoons” in the ingredient text and as one spoonful in the spoken instructions. The instructions do not specify browning times or the amount of water; add water only if necessary. Mashed potatoes are a serving suggestion, not a preparation included in the recipe.
