Braising is simply cooking meat or veggies in a liquid until they become tender and moist. Beer braising imparts a distinctive flavor that broth alone cannot provide. You can use any beer you have on hand for this recipe noting that the more flavorful and robust the beer, the stronger the beer flavor of the chicken. Serve this along with any of our barbeque sides for a delicious and easy summer dish.
