Ingredients
- 1 cup Guinness
- ¼ cup EACH: ketchup and honey
- 2 tablespoons balsamic
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 8 boneless skinless chicken thighs
Instructions
- Add the Guinness, ketchup, honey, balsamic, dijon, and garlic to a small pot and bring it to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until it starts to thicken.
- While the sauce is simmering, start the chicken. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the pan and brown it on both sides, about 5 minutes total. Drain the fat from the pan.
- Reduce the heat to medium and then pour the slightly thickened Guinness sauce over the chicken and continue to cook the chicken, uncovered, turning it over a few times so the sauce coats both sides, for about 15 minutes, or until the sauce reduces and is thick and sticky.

Notes
- Make sure to cook the chicken uncovered so that the sauce thickens.
