Chicken thighs in sauce

Today I'm sharing this recipe for chicken thighs in sauce, a very basic and inexpensive dish. I'll also be offering some suggestions for variations in the tips I always include at the end of each recipe.

Ingredients · Servings 6
  • Laurel
  • A few peppercorns
  • 1 medium onion
  • 2 beautiful ripe tomatoes
  • 2 carrots
  • 12 chicken thighs
  • Shall
  • Pepper
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Flour
  • 330 mL of beer (—read the tips—)
  • 1 glass of water (—read the tips—)
Method · 40 min
  1. Put the bay leaf and a few peppercorns in the casserole dish you're going to cook the chicken thighs in.
  2. Chop the onion.
  3. Cut the tomatoes into pieces as well.
  4. Peel the carrots and slice them.
  5. Add the onion, tomatoes, and carrots to the casserole (they go in raw).
  6. Season the chicken thighs with salt and a little ground pepper. Coat them in flour and tap off the excess with your hands.
  7. Put extra virgin olive oil in a frying pan, fry the chicken in it and then add it to the casserole dish that we have prepared for this purpose.
  8. Add the beer and the glass of water. Let it simmer for about 25 minutes. The broth will evaporate: at this point, taste the sauce and see if it needs more salt.
