Beer Braised Chicken Sausage And Onions Recipes

BEER-BRAISED SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Tear off 4 large sheets of heavy-duty foil. Divide the sausage among the foil sheets and evenly top with the bell peppers, celery, red onion and garlic. Drizzle with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Add 2 thyme sprigs to each and drizzle with the beer. Bring two opposite ends of the foil together and fold twice to seal. Fold in the other sides and seal, leaving room for heat to circulate.
• Grill the foil packets, rotating halfway through, until the sausages are charred and the peppers are crisp-tender, about 20 minutes. Carefully open the packets and sprinkle with parsley.

BRAISED CHICKEN SAUSAGES

Steps:

• Put all ingredients in a large high sided saute pan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-high and cook until stock has evaporated and a glaze has formed over all. With tongs toss sausages with onions and serve.

BEER-BRAISED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and dredge in flour, shaking off the excess. Add the olive oil to the drippings in the pot. Add the chicken in batches and cook over medium-high heat until golden on the bottom, 6 to 7 minutes, then flip and sear the other side, about 1 minute.
• Add the beer, onions, potatoes, mustard, sugar, thyme and 1 cup water to the pot and stir, making sure the chicken is fully submerged. Simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Discard the thyme and stir in the bacon and parsley.

BEER BRAISED CHICKEN, SAUSAGE AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Chicken -- I like rub the chicken with 1 tablespoon olive oil and then coat with the salt, pepper, and allspice.
• Saute -- Then in a large dutch oven (I happen to have a deep cast iron skillet) but I like to transfer to the oven, so use something deep for either the stove or something you can transfer to the oven to finish cooking. Add the oil and cook 1/2 of the chicken skin side down on medium high heat. Remove and set to the side and then cook the other 1/2. You don't want to crowd the pan as they cook. You just want to cook the chicken until all the skin and chicken is golden brown. Then lastly add the sausage pieces and once again, cook until golden brown and remove to the plate with the chicken.
• Onions -- Add the onions to the pot (on medium high) and saute a few minutes, 3-4 is all they take until they soften. Then stir in the brown sugar and reduce to medium low and cover until golden brown, stirring occasionally. This will take about 5-8 minutes.
• Sauce -- Add in the flour and cook 1 minute to mix in with the onions and then add the bay leaf, mustard, broth, and beer and bring to a boil. Reduce to low and arrange the chicken in pot in one layer. Don't forget to pour in any juices from the plate too. Good Stuff! Now if you can, transfer to the oven and cook at 375 uncovered, or you can continue to cook on the stove top on low to medium low also uncovered, but the oven to me gives it a better taste. It takes about 40 minutes until the chicken is falling all the bone.
• Serving -- I like to take some roasted potatoes and put in the bottom of a bowl and slightly mash with a small fork. Then top with the chicken pieces and some of the sausage and onions and juice. A nice slice of toasted bread and a small salad. How much more comfort food can you get.

SAUSAGES BRAISED IN BEER, APPLES, AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Bring beer, onion, and apples to a bare simmer. Add sausages and cook 3 to 5 minutes or until heated through. Reserve beer mixture. Grill sausages until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer beer mixture with a slotted spoon to a platter and top with grilled sausages.

BEER BRAISED ONIONS

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a pan. Add the onions and cook until tender.
• Add 6 fl oz beer, sugar and salt. Cook approx 16/18 minutes until the beer is absorbed and the onions are starting to brown.
• Add the remaining beer and simmer gently.
• Serve warm to accompany burgers.

BEER-SIMMERED GRILLED SAUSAGES

Steps:

• 1. Prick each sausage a half-dozen times with a needle or pin stuck in a cork. Arrange the onion slices on the bottom of a sauté pan just large enough to hold all the sausages. Place the sausages on top and add beer and water to cover (the ratio should be about 3 parts beer to 1 part water). Place the pan over medium heat and gradually bring the liquid to a simmer, not a rapid boil. Poach the sausages until half-cooked, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the sausages to a rack on a baking sheet to drain or drain in a colander. Separate the sausages into links.
• 2. Set up the grill for direct grilling and preheat to medium-high.
• 3. When ready to cook, brush and oil the grill grate. Lightly brush the sausages on all sides with oil and place on the hot grate. Grill until the casings are crisp and nicely browned and the sausages are cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes per side. You may want to rotate the sausages 90 degrees after 2 minutes on each side to create an attractive crosshatch of grill marks. Should flare-ups arise, move the sausages to a different section of the grill. Use a slender metal skewer to test for doneness. Insert it into the center of one of the sausages: It should come out hot to the touch.
• 4. Transfer the sausages to plates or a platter and let rest for 3 minutes. Serve with plenty of mustard.
• Variations: Poaching is optional and not every grill jockey does it. If you omit the poaching, you'll need to grill the sausages 7 to 10 minutes per side.
• For absolutely foolproof sausage grilling, use the indirect method. The sausages will be fully cooked in about 30 minutes.
