Thank you to Dave Jensen at Beer 47 for hosting this Session.

I personally love to cook with beer. Some of the tastiest meals I've prepared with beer have been the simplest like Camembert cheese and beer melt. Three ingredients: beer, cheese and crusty bread. My favorite of all the recipes I've tried whether my own, from a cook book or plagerized is Sweet and sour chickens thighs on the good old BBQ. Which by the way can be finished in the oven as well for those of us who are frost bite challenged.
Here it is Guys and Gals.

This recipe is for the barbie but works equally well in the oven.
Just brown the chicken under the broiler before adding th liquid ingredients

Category: Main Course
Main Ingredient: Chicken and beer
Serving Size: Serves six
Ingedients:
A six pack of malty beer.
1 1/2 kilos of chicken thighs, skin on, bone in.
1 large tablespoon of minced garlic.
4 generous tablespoons of maple syrup.
1/4 cup soya sauce.
Enough sweet onion, (I used vidalia but red onion will work as well), sliced into 1/4 inch thick rings, enough to cover the entire bottom of a small roasting pan.

Instructions:
Gently whisk together a 341 mil. bottle of malty beer, the garlic, soya sauce and maple syrup. Set aside.
On a hot grill brown the chicken thighs on both sides and then place in the roasting pan on the bed of onion.
Pour the wet mixture over the chicken and place the covered pan on the cool side of an indirect heated barbeque, (325 degrees F.), for about
an hour. Remove lid for the last 30 minutes to give the sauce a chance to thicken.
Remove the chicken thighs and place back on a hot grill using the liquid in the pan as a basting sauce. Grill for about 15 minutes turning often and basting liberally.
Serve with a flavored rice, veggies of your choice.
Oh yeah! You still have five beers left. You know what to do.

I've copied this directly from our site so some of you will have to convert imperial to metric and in some cases the other way around.
If you try this and like it let me know. If you don't you can let me know as well but my feelings bruise easily.

Cheers,

Devoid
