Best Beer Braised Chicken Sausage And Onions Recipes

BEER-BRAISED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and dredge in flour, shaking off the excess. Add the olive oil to the drippings in the pot. Add the chicken in batches and cook over medium-high heat until golden on the bottom, 6 to 7 minutes, then flip and sear the other side, about 1 minute.
• Add the beer, onions, potatoes, mustard, sugar, thyme and 1 cup water to the pot and stir, making sure the chicken is fully submerged. Simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Discard the thyme and stir in the bacon and parsley.

BEER-BRAISED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Pat the chicken thighs dry, and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add the chicken and brown on both sides in 2 batches.
• Remove the chicken to a plate and spoon out 1/2 the drippings, and add the andouille sausage. Brown for 2 minutes and then add the onion, celery, pepper, garlic, and thyme, and cook to soften, for about 10 minutes over medium heat.
• Add the flour, stir 1 to 2 minutes, and then pour in the beer and let the foam subside. Stir in the tomatoes, stock, and hot sauce. Let the sauce thicken a bit, and then slide the chicken into the pot and simmer to cook through. Serve with warm crusty bread, or cool and store for make-ahead meal.

BEST EVER SAUSAGE WITH PEPPERS, ONIONS, AND BEER!

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium high heat. Cook sausage until browned on all sides. Remove sausage from pan, and set aside. Pour in 1 bottle of beer to deglaze the pan, scraping up any blackened bits from the bottom. Place the red peppers, green peppers, onions and garlic in the pan. Stir in the remaining beer and the tomato paste. Season with oregano, cilantro, hot sauce, salt and pepper. Cover, and simmer until onions and peppers are tender. Slice the sausages into bite size pieces, and add to the peppers. Cover, and simmer until sausage is cooked through.

BEER BRAISED CHICKEN, SAUSAGE AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Chicken -- I like rub the chicken with 1 tablespoon olive oil and then coat with the salt, pepper, and allspice.
• Saute -- Then in a large dutch oven (I happen to have a deep cast iron skillet) but I like to transfer to the oven, so use something deep for either the stove or something you can transfer to the oven to finish cooking. Add the oil and cook 1/2 of the chicken skin side down on medium high heat. Remove and set to the side and then cook the other 1/2. You don't want to crowd the pan as they cook. You just want to cook the chicken until all the skin and chicken is golden brown. Then lastly add the sausage pieces and once again, cook until golden brown and remove to the plate with the chicken.
• Onions -- Add the onions to the pot (on medium high) and saute a few minutes, 3-4 is all they take until they soften. Then stir in the brown sugar and reduce to medium low and cover until golden brown, stirring occasionally. This will take about 5-8 minutes.
• Sauce -- Add in the flour and cook 1 minute to mix in with the onions and then add the bay leaf, mustard, broth, and beer and bring to a boil. Reduce to low and arrange the chicken in pot in one layer. Don't forget to pour in any juices from the plate too. Good Stuff! Now if you can, transfer to the oven and cook at 375 uncovered, or you can continue to cook on the stove top on low to medium low also uncovered, but the oven to me gives it a better taste. It takes about 40 minutes until the chicken is falling all the bone.
• Serving -- I like to take some roasted potatoes and put in the bottom of a bowl and slightly mash with a small fork. Then top with the chicken pieces and some of the sausage and onions and juice. A nice slice of toasted bread and a small salad. How much more comfort food can you get.
