Ingredients
  

  • 8 chicken thighs, bone in, skin on
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 red onion, 1/2 finley chopped, 1/2 thinly sliced
  • 1 cup beer
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 carrots, cut into 2 inch matchsticks
  • 250 grams yard beans, cut into 2 inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons all purpose flour

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, combine the flour, 1 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp. pepper and the allspice. Coat the chicken with the flour mixture. In a large, heavy skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken skin side down and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 3 to 5 minutes; transfer to a plate. Discard all but 1 tablespoon of fat from the skillet. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, 3 minutes. Stir in the beer, scraping up any browned bits.
  • Return the chicken to the skillet, lower the heat, cover and simmer until cooked through, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a platter; tent with foil. Boil the liquid in the skillet for 2 minutes to reduce slightly. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of butter and the parsley.
  • Meanwhile, in another large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the carrots, cover and cook for 5 minutes. Add the green beans and 3 tbsp. water, cover and cook until crisp and tender, about 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Divide the vegetables among 4 plates and top with the chicken and sauce.

Notes

Chicken thighs will cost about 65 Baht/kilo, 8 thighs would be about 1 to 1 1/2 kilo, but if you buy quarters (you need to buy 8 quarters) the thighs are larger, price is about the same, but you get 8 legs to use in another recipe. I will estimate this at 130 Baht for just purchased thighs (be on the safe side), so the meal is about 95 cents per serving.
Serve over egg noodles would be a great idea.

  1. Definitely one to try. The combination of flavours in this dish seem interesting…allspice and beer…
