Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, cut in half, thinly sliced (1 cup)
4 bone-in chicken thighs, skin removed
4 chicken drumsticks, skin removed
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3/4 cup stout or dark beer
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Steps:

In 12-inch skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Cook onion in butter 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender. Sprinkle all sides of chicken with salt and pepper. Add chicken to skillet; cook 4 to 6 minutes, turning once, until browned.
Pour beer around chicken. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to low. Cover; simmer 45 to 50 minutes or until juice of chicken is clear when thickest part is cut to bone (at least 165°F). Remove chicken from skillet; cover to keep warm.
In small bowl, mix flour and 1/4 cup hot cooking juices with whisk until smooth. Pour mixture into skillet; cook over medium heat 5 to 6 minutes, stirring constantly with whisk, until thickened and bubbly. Serve chicken with gravy.
