Ingredients

  • 1 (tablespoon) olive oil
  • 4 chicken thighs
  • 1 large onion, halved lengthwise and cut into thick slices
  • 1 (tablespoon) minced garlic
  • 1/2 (cup) dried apricots, halved
  • 1/2 (teaspoon) ground ginger
  • 1/2 (teaspoon) ground cumin
  • 1/2 (teaspoon) ground allspice
  • 1 (cup) beer (preferably lager)
  • 1/48 (oz) salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Brown chicken thighs on both sides until golden, about 3 minutes per side. Set chicken aside, then stir in onion and garlic; cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the onion has softened. Stir in apricots and season with ginger, cumin, and allspice. Cook for 1 minute until spices are fragrant.
  2. Pour beer into pan, scraping the bottom of the pan to dissolve the browned bits. Add chicken, cover, and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer gently until the chicken begins to fall away from the bone, about 30 minutes.

    tasted great!! I did add about 1/4 cup of jalapeno jam to spice it up though.

    I had no beer or apricots. I used veggie stock and lime juice in place of the beer. It turned out great. Served with southern style collards and stuffing.

    Rather than simmering on the stove for 30 minutes, I put it in the crockpot and it was delicious when I got home from work!
