Ingredients:
– 1 cup beer of your choice (try a lager for a milder flavor or a stout for a richer taste)
– 1 cup ketchup
– 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
– 1/4 cup honey
– 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
– 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
– 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 2 pounds chicken drumsticks and thighs
Instructions:
1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the beer, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, smoked paprika, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
2. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Let the sauce cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly and the flavors meld together beautifully. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken drumsticks and thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.
4. Place the seasoned chicken pieces on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. Make sure to frequently brush the chicken with the prepared Brew N Barbecue sauce during the last few minutes of grilling, allowing the sauce to caramelize and create a flavorful glaze.
5. Once the chicken is cooked and has a lovely charred finish, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
6. Serve the Brew N Barbecue chicken hot off the grill, garnished with some fresh chopped parsley or a sprinkle of extra smoked paprika for an added kick of flavor. Pair this dish with your favorite summer sides like coleslaw, grilled corn on the cob, or a refreshing cucumber salad for a complete meal that will have everyone coming back for more.
