Ingredients
  

4 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on

1 can (14.9 oz) Guinness stout

1 large onion, sliced

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 carrots, chopped

2 celery stalks, chopped

1 cup chicken broth

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.

    Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pot, add the sliced onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

      Deglaze with Guinness: Pour in the can of Guinness stout and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pot. This will add deep flavor to your dish.

        Add Remaining Ingredients: Stir in the chicken broth, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

          Braise the Chicken: Return the seared chicken thighs to the pot, skin-side up. Make sure they are mostly submerged in the liquid but leave the skin exposed for crispy texture. Cover the pot with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer gently for about 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

            Finishing Touches: Check the taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed. If desired, remove the chicken thighs once more and let the sauce simmer uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes to thicken slightly.

              Serve: Plate the chicken thighs, spoon the rich Guinness sauce and vegetables over the top, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve hot alongside mashed potatoes or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
