Time 2h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

8 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 link andouille sausage, casing removed and chopped, or 4 slices bacon, chopped
1 onion, chopped
2 ribs celery, chopped
1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
2 to 3 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
1 rounded tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 (12-ounce) bottle lager beer
1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes with chiles or stewed tomatoes
1 cup chicken stock
2 tablespoons hot sauce
Scallions, white and green parts, thinly sliced, for garnish
Warm baguette, for mopping

Steps:

  • Pat the chicken thighs dry, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add the chicken and brown on both sides in 2 batches.
  • Remove the chicken to a plate and spoon out 1/2 the drippings, and add the andouille sausage. Brown for 2 minutes and then add the onion, celery, pepper, garlic, and thyme, and cook to soften, for about 10 minutes over medium heat.
  • Add the flour, stir 1 to 2 minutes, and then pour in the beer and let the foam subside. Stir in the tomatoes, stock, and hot sauce. Let the sauce thicken a bit, and then slide the chicken into the pot and simmer to cook through. Serve with warm crusty bread, or cool and store for make-ahead meal.

I'm not a big fan of beer, but this recipe sounds delicious. I might try it with white wine instead.

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was tough and the sauce was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

The chicken was a little dry, but the sauce was delicious. I would recommend using a different cut of chicken, like boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs.

This was my first time making beer-braised chicken and it turned out great! The chicken was so tender and the sauce was amazing. I will definitely be making this again.

I've made this recipe several times now and it's always a winner. The chicken is always moist and flavorful, and the sauce is to die for.

Great recipe! I made this for a potluck and it was a huge success. Everyone loved the chicken and the sauce.

Easy to make and delicious! I used dark beer and added some chopped carrots and celery to the pot. The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce was perfect for spooning over rice.

This beer-braised chicken was a hit! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the sauce was rich and flavorful. I served it over mashed potatoes and green beans, and it was a perfect meal. I'll definitely be making this again.
