This recipe is adapted from Laura Calder’s Beer Bird. In her recipe she uses whole cornish game hens but I use chicken drumsticks. Chicken thighs would work fine as well. The chicken is cooked in herbs, garlic, chopped carrots and beer. I used a dark doublebock beer which is a strong German lager. I thought it would only be fitting because it’s Oktoberfest season!
Roast Chicken Thighs with White Wine, Pancetta, and Olives
There’s nothing more comforting than roast chicken. I can’t count how many times I’ve cooked it, but I can never get tired of this dish. Chicken has a nice flavor when roasted with just salt, pepper and herbs, but there are a number of other ingredients you can add.
