Welcome back, friends! Today, we're redoing a classic comfort dish: Beer-Braised Chicken Thighs! This recipe is a twist on the classic French Coq au Vin, but instead of red wine, we’re using beer for a rich, deep flavour. We're bringing this dish back with a full kitchen demonstration, making it even better than the original video from years ago. You’ll learn step-by-step how to cook crispy chicken thighs braised in an incredible beer and cream sauce, with mushrooms, shallots, and herbs like thyme and rosemary. We even talk about the best beer to use, including our very own English Ordinary Bitter brewed in our home brewery. Whether you're looking for a cozy dinner idea or love experimenting with cooking with beer, this is the perfect recipe to add to your repertoire. Stick around to learn tips on achieving perfectly tender, crispy-skinned chicken and how to make a comforting sauce full of flavor. Serve it with rice or potatoes and enjoy an easy yet impressive meal. Don’t forget to check out our brewing channel for more homemade beer content:
