Ingredients

Main ingredients

  • 1 onion, cut into half-moons

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar

  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons Haddar Kosher Salt

  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons chili powder

  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons paprika (I prefer smoked)

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 8 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken (I like to use thighs)

  • 1 (12-ounce) bottle beer


Wine Pairing

Or Haganuz Amuka Gewürtzraminer

Directions

Prepare the Chicken

1.

Place onion into a crockpot.

2.

In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, salt, chili powder, paprika, and garlic powder. Rub mixture all over each piece of chicken. Place over onions in crockpot.

3.

Pour beer over the chicken.

4.

Cover; cook on high for five hours or on low for seven to eight hours.

Notes:

This chicken can be made ahead and frozen. Rewarm, covered, until heated through.

Variation:

Chicken can be prepared in the oven instead of a slow cooker. Prepare as directed and cover tightly. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for one and a half to two hours, until chicken is very soft.

Easy to put together & familiar enough for kids to actually eat, yet interesting flavors for me and my husband to enjoy as well. Delicious!

Crock pot brown su feed ar beer ch oh cken Hi I enjoy many of your recipes. I think a retraction should b made on calling this dish low carb. This is totally very high carb. Half cup brown sugar and bottle beer. Another name for beer is liquid carbs. I’m sure the dish is heavenly but dont mislead people thinking wow this is so healthy low carb. Thank u.

Hi- we actually ran this recipe through a nutrition analyzer and the carb count came out on the lower end, that is why we labeled it low-carb 🙂

Yum Yum! Really good, we added an onion and probably should’ve added another.
