Braising chicken in Chatham Brewing’s IPA keeps it moist, while the onions and oven-roasted grapes add a touch of sweetness that pairs nicely with white wine or a cool-weather red.

Ingredients

1 pound red seedless grapes
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
24 chicken thighs
12 chicken drumsticks
1½ teaspoons fine sea salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
12 medium onions, sliced
4½ cups Chatham Brewing Farmer’s Daughter Rye IPA

Directions

Preheat oven to 350˚F. Remove grapes from stems and place on baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil. Toss until well coated.

Bake 20–25 minutes, or until grapes begin to shrivel. Remove from oven and set aside.

Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Place skin-side down in large metal roasting pan. Scatter onions and grapes evenly in pan, then pour beer over. Bake 1 hour, or until beer has evaporated.

Transfer chicken to baking pan, skin-side up, in a single layer, working in batches if necessary. Bake 10 minutes. Crisp chicken skin under broiler. Transfer chicken, onions and grapes to serving dish. Serves 12.
