Ingredients

  • 8 to 12 skinless, boneless chicken thighs, or 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts

  • vegetable oil

  • 1/4 cup barbecue sauce

  • 1/4 cup beer

  • 1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

  • Lightly oil a large frying pan and set over medium-high heat. Add chicken. Cook until golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Stir in barbecue sauce and beer. Turn chicken to coat. Using a wooden spoon, scrape up and stir in any brown bits from pan bottom to add flavour. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer until chicken feels springy when pressed, 8 to 10 minutes. Turn once. Sprinkle with coriander.

Store-bought barbecue sauce and beer do wonders for chicken. The best part? There's enough beer left over to sip while you cook. Cheers!

Time Saver

A bottle of beer is terrific as a marinade or liquid for stewing inexpensive roasts. Experiment with ales and lagers.
