Beer-Braised Chicken with Sriracha

1 1/2 pounds chicken legs or drumsticks

2 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Sauce:

1/2 cup dark ale (preferably a nutty one with a good amount of sweetness)

1/4 cup chicken stock

1 tablespoon sherry

1/2 tablespoon hoisin sauce

2 teaspoons soy sauce

2 teaspoons sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 small onion, sliced into strips

8 to 10 cremini mushrooms, stems discarded and caps quartered

2 to 3 teaspoons Sriracha

1 stalk scallion, thinly sliced

1. With a paper towel, pat the excess moisture from the chicken on all sides (otherwise, watch out for splattering oil when you sear the meat.)In a large wok or skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken on one side until the skin is light golden brown, about 5 minutes. Flip the chicken over and sear the other side for another 5 minutes.

2. Mix together the ingredients for the sauce and pour the sauce over the chicken. Reduce the heat to medium-low and allow everything to simmer for 20 to 30 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, in a separate pan, heat the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of oil over high heat. Stir-fry the onions and mushrooms briefly until the onions are aromatic and the edges are just starting to turn golden brown, about 2 minutes. Stir in the Sriracha and cook for 30 seconds more. Transfer the vegetables to the pan with the chicken and mix well.

4. When the chicken is done simmering, transfer the contents of the pan to a large serving dish and garnish with scallions. Serve with rice.

Sriracha is very, very hot. This recipe sounds delicious, but it should come with...

...a warning if you've never eaten sriracha before.

I've eaten spicy, hot food my whole life. Sriracha packs a kick, and a little goes a long way in my book.

This one's going in my 'to try' file, and I'll have to back off the amount of sriracha a bit before the rest of the brood will enjoy it.

Thanks Dawn.

Oh, I NEED to make this!

love, love, LOVE Sriracha, I might have to go easy on it as my husband is not as crazy about it as me, but I guess I can always shake a few tablespoons on my plate... smileys/smile.gif

I will definitely save this for when the weather turns cold here
