Beer Braised Chicken with Potatoes and Carrots

After a fun day of outdoor adventures, this hearty recipe is a great way to refuel. We like to use beer as a cooking liquid because it adds complexity and enhances the ingredients’ flavors without being overpowering. After just 45 minutes, you’ll have tender chicken and flavorful veggies to satisfy your crowd.
