Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

8 chicken thighs, boneless, skinless if preferred
1 shallot, diced small
2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon fresh sage, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup your favorite red or white wine
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/2 pint grape tomatoes, for garnish
salt and pepper, to taste
In a seal-able plastic storage bag place all the ingredients, seal and let marinade for at least 1 hour but no more than 12 hours.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a baking dish place the chicken in a single layer. Pour the marinade over it. Cover and bake for 25-30 minutes.
Remove the cover and continue baking for 20-25 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 175-180 degrees F.
Place chicken on a platter. Reduce juices for about 5 minutes on the stove.
Serve with cooked couscous.
I find that chicken thighs are much more reminiscent of the chickens we used to rise as a child on our farm. For those of you trying to cut fat or are a little finicky about bones, buy the skinless boneless ones, just remember if you lose the skin and bones you lose flavor!

This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

Sooo easy and delicious. I added the tomatoes BEFORE I started cooking for a great roasting effect

The flavor was very good (loved the variety of fresh herbs!). We used red wine and wished we had used white. The red wine colors the chicken a little and we just felt it detracted from the dish. The chicken was very moist and flavorful though.
