Chicken is, alongside pork, one of the most consumed meats in the world: versatile, tasty, and suitable for countless preparations, it is the perfect mainstay even for everyday meals. In this recipe, I cooked it by deglazing with light beer and accompanied by sweet caramelized onions. The result “chicken pieces with beer and caramelized onions” is definitely a rustic yet elegant, fragrant, and succulent dish, ideal for serving during a family lunch or a dinner with friends, with the advantage of a simple yet impressive preparation.

Steps
I season the chicken pieces (thighs, drumsticks, and others) with oil, salt, pepper, and rosemary.
Then I arrange them in a baking dish without overlapping, pour half of the light beer, and cook in a static oven at 356°F for about 45–50 minutes, turning halfway through and basting with the remaining beer during cooking.Meanwhile, I slice the onions thinly and let them soften in a pan with EVO oil; I add the brown sugar and a splash of water, continuing until caramelized.
Now I assemble the dish by combining the roasted and tender chicken pieces with the tender, juicy, and fragrant caramelized onions!
Enjoy your meal! Annalisa
