Print Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tbs olive oil
  • 6 boneless skinless chicken thigh filets
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1-2 tbs flour
  • ½ cup sliced sweet white onions
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup brown ale divided in half
  • 1 tbs balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbs honey
  • ½ tsp red chili sauce such as Sriracha plus additional if desired

Instructions
 

  • In a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat add the olive oil.
  • Sprinkle the chicken thighs on all sides with salt, pepper and flour.
  • Cook the chicken thighs until browned on all sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove, and set aside.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low, add the onions and caramelize over medium heat until golden brown, about 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Stir in the garlic then add ½ cup brown ale, balsamic vinegar, honey and chili sauce. Simmer until reduced and thickened. Add the chicken back to the pan along with the remaining ½ cup brown ale.
  • Cover loosely with a lid, lower heat to maintain a simmer and allow to cook until chicken is cooked through, about an additional 10 minutes. Turning once during cooking.
