Beer Braised Chicken
Beer Braised Chicken features skin-on bone-in chicken thighs browned in vegetable oil, then slow-baked with cremini mushrooms, sliced onions, and a savory mixture of beer, chicken broth, spicy brown mustard, and dried thyme. The result is a tender, richly flavored chicken with a reduced sauce that crisps the skin, offering a well-rounded dish with depth from the mustard and herbs.
