Main Dish

Steps

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Season the chicken thigh with salt and pepper, then place it skin-side down in the skillet.
Sear for about 5 minutes, until the skin is golden brown.
Flip the chicken and add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes.
Pour the beer into the skillet and sprinkle the dried thyme over the chicken.
Bring to a simmer, then cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low.
Cook for 30-35 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Remove the chicken and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
