Beer chicken drumsticks in a skillet, very tender and succulent — the perfect recipe if you don’t know How to cook chicken. With chicken you can easily create tasty and relatively inexpensive dishes; this type of meat indeed allows for a thousand different combinations and delightful results. On the blog there are many chicken-based recipes, but I managed to find one I hadn’t made yet: beer chicken drumsticks. I can say that until some time ago I was very reluctant to use this beverage when preparing meat mains, then one day I decided to try and risked cooking beer pork loin rolls, beer meatballs and even beer-braised pork ribs or beer-braised pork neck. Believe me, they were so good that then I got creative and with the same beverage I also prepared beer-braised pork shank cooked in a pot, beer-braised chicken in a casserole and many other recipes like today’s, where beer is a key ingredient! But let’s go to the kitchen — I’ll tell you how easy it is to cook beer chicken drumsticks in a skillet with onions and carrots, making even a little sauce for dipping at the end!

How to make beer chicken drumsticks in a skillet

Peel, rinse and slice the onions and carrots; place them in a skillet, add a little oil and let them soften over medium-high heat. Prepare the drumsticks: singe any remaining pin feathers over the burner and rub them with the roasting seasoning (which already contains salt).
Place the drumsticks in the same pan where the vegetables are browning, let them flavor over medium-high heat and as soon as the legs change color, pour in all the beer.
Cook for 30 minutes over low heat with the lid on; after that time remove the lid, raise the heat and let the liquid evaporate. After 45 minutes total the chicken should be ready — turn off the heat, let it cool a bit, garnish with parsley and enjoy.
