This Brown Ale-Braised Chicken is a comforting and flavorful dish perfect for a cozy dinner. The combination of brown ale, Dijon mustard, and honey creates a rich and tangy sauce that pairs beautifully with tender chicken thighs. Serve with mashed potatoes or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
Ingredients: 4 chicken thighs, bone-in, skin-on. Salt and black pepper to taste. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 1 onion, finely chopped. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 cup brown ale. 1 cup chicken broth. 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard. 2 tablespoons honey. 2 sprigs fresh thyme. 1 bay leaf.
Instructions: Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and sear until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add chopped onion and garlic. Cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Pour in the brown ale and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Stir in Dijon mustard and honey. Add thyme sprigs and bay leaf. Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, nestling them into the liquid. Cover and simmer over low heat for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and tender. Remove the bay leaf and thyme sprigs before serving.
