Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 2 1/2 - 3 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs (cut into 3/4" pieces)
  • 1 12 ounce Samuel Adams Grumpy Monk beer (or an alternative IPA beer)
  • 1/2 cup light flavored olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 4 cloves garlic (smashed)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instruction

  • Combine all ingredients in a gallon size ziploc bag or large bowl with a lid. Place in the refrigerator and let the chicken marinate from 2-24 hours.
  • GRILL / BROILER SKEWERS METHOD: Preheat the grill to moderate heat or set the oven to broil with the rack six inches from the heat. Thread the chicken onto skewers and grill or broil for 5 minutes, then turn and cook another 2-3 minutes until cooked through. Test doneness by slicing into the chicken with the tip of a knife. The center should be white or very light pink.
  • ALTERNATIVE BROILER METHOD: Spread the chicken pieces across a large baking sheet. Broil for 5 minutes, stir and broil another 3 minutes, until cooked through and lightly browned.
  • STOVETOP METHOD: Warm a large skillet over medium high heat, until it is very hot, you should be able to hold your hand a few inches over the skillet only for a few moments. Drain the marinade off the chicken and add half the chicken to the skillet. Flip with tongs or stir with a spatula, letting the chicken cook for less than a minute on each side. The total cooking time should be about 3 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a dish and repeat the process to cook the remaining chicken. Enjoy!
