Ingredients
- 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- Sea salt and black pepper to taste
For the Marinade:
- 12 ounces Corona beer
- 5 garlic cloves crushed
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon vegetable or chicken stock powder
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
For the Garnish:
- fresh parsley
Instructions
- Wash and pat dry thighs. Place chicken in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
- Pierce chicken through with a skewer, pour beer, add garlic, thyme, stock powder and honey. Cover with foil and marinate for 4 hours in the refrigerator.
- After 2 hours, turn the chicken on the other side to make sure to get the marinade everywhere.
- When you are ready to cook, heat a large skillet on medium-high heat with olive oil.
- When it starts to smoke, sear the chicken skinside-down until golden and crisp. Flip and sear the other side until golden, then decrease heat to low.
- Heat a pan on high-medium heat and boil beer marinade until reduced by half. Pour on the chicken and turn heat to medium-high. Let reduce again until thickened. Pour beer sauce on the chicken from time to time to keep the skin moist.
- Remove and garnish with parsley.
