beer-braised chicken

I love this recipe!  It is fairly easy and makes a lot of food.  Very substantial one-pot meal. 

 

 

First cook the bacon.  I use my faux-Le Creuset dutch oven for this entire recipe.  Remove and drain on paper towels.

 

Sprinkle the thighs with S&P and dredge in flour.  I cut A LOT of the fat off of the thighs.  I know that's what makes it taste good but geez.  There is still plenty flavor, promise.

 

 

Chicken cooked in bacon grease - yes please.

 

Once all the herbage, stock and potatoes are added.

 

I probably should have served this in a bowl.  The liquid is the best part!
