Easy Beer Chicken

Step 1 -In a large bowl, add the chicken thighs and evenly season them with the salt and the pepper.

Step 2 -Pierce each of the seasoned chicken thighs once with a skewer.

Step 3 -Add the beer, add the garlic, the thyme, the stock powder, and the honey to the chicken thighs and toss to coat.

Step 4 -Cover the bowl with foil and place it in the refrigerator. Marinate the chicken thighs, flipping them halfway through, about 4 hours.

Step 6 -Add the marinated chicken thighs skin-side down to the heated oil and sear until the skins are golden and crisp. Reserve the beer marinade in the plastic bag.

Step 7 -Flip the chicken thighs and sear until the other sides are golden and the thighs reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Decrease the heat to low.

Step 8 -In a medium pan over medium-high heat, add the reserved beer marinade and bring to a boil. Cook until it is reduced by half.

Step 9 -Pour the beer sauce over the cooked chicken thighs in the skillet and increase the heat to medium-high.

Step 10 -Cook the chicken and the beer sauce, frequently spooning the sauce over the meat, until the beer sauce has thickened.

Step 11 -Serve the chicken thighs drizzled with the beer sauce and garnished with the parsley.
