For a deeper flavor, use a dark ale or stout. Ensure the chicken is fully coated with cornstarch for a beautifully thickened sauce. Adjust the amount of rosemary to your liking. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of chicken broth or water to thin it out. Best served immediately to enjoy the crispy skin and moist chicken.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large bowl, combine the chicken, 1 tablespoon of rosemary, crushed garlic, salt, and pepper. Pour the beer over the mixture. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. (Marinating time: 30+ minutes)
02
StepRemove the chicken from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels. Sprinkle the cornstarch evenly over the chicken, ensuring it's fully coated. Reserve the marinade for later use.
03
StepHeat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the chicken and brown on all sides, about 3 minutes per side, to develop a rich color and flavor. Add the sliced onion. Remove the garlic from marinade and add to the Dutch oven with a bit of marinade to keep everything from burning. Sauté until the onion is tender and translucent, about 5 minutes. (Browning and sautéing: ~11 minutes)
04
StepPour the remaining marinade into the pot and bring it to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to deglaze. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of rosemary. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the sauce has reduced and thickened, and the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside, about 15 minutes. (Simmering time: ~15 minutes)
05
StepServe the Pollo alla Birra hot, spooning the luscious sauce over the chicken. Pair it with creamy mashed potatoes or polenta and a simple green salad for a complete and satisfying meal.

Apr 26, 2025I found that 1 cup of beer was a bit too much liquid. Next time I will reduce it to 3/4 cup.

Apr 4, 2025Be careful not to overcook the chicken. The sauce thickened nicely, but the chicken was a little dry.
