The chicken wasn't bad, I thought the sauce was a little too sour. It was nice to make a recipe with few ingredients.

I loved this recipe - the chicken was super moist - I used Blue Moon beer because that's what I had on hand. Like others said - I had to pour off about half the fat to make the sauce, I too add about two tablespoons sour cream and a tablespoon of flour - the apple vinegar gives it a nice kick but make sure you're not too heavy handed - I would only use one tbsp of vinegar next time...but I let if simmer about 15 minutes and it settled a little. I love it...the bacon over top was super yummy. Will make this over and over.

I've made this recipe several times and I always come back to look at the reviews for ideas. This is a GREAT recipe!! You do need to drain off some of the fat after browning the chicken. I've tried several type of beer with this recipe but Guinness is the best! Hands down. I've added several aromatics but carrots and other sweet veggies make it too sweet. Stick to the recipe and experiment changing the beer but the basic recipes ROCKS!

This is a great recipe! Some of the reviews to drain off some of the fat are accurate but no reason to give a lower rating. The flavor is incredible! I'm not sure why it has gotten less than 5 stars. In stead of dark beer I used an Orange Blossom Pilsner and also added 1 T. Creole Mustard.

I used chicken's thigh only and remove the fat of the thigh. It's taste delicious.

This recipe is a 3 star if you make it the way the recipe calls you too. 5 star with a few changes. First, cut that cooking fat in half! You don't need it all. Super greasy with all of it. I also add an onion with the fennel, add more like 1/4 cup of vinegar and add carrots at the point you put it in the oven. I also add green onion at the point you flip the chicken. When done, I put the chicken on a baking sheet and broil it for a few minutes until the skin is crispy again. Then plate and sauce! Way better and much more colorful and less greasy!

This was a home run!! I got compliments from my most critical guests. I don't like the taste of raw fennel but cooked is nothing like raw. I used more bacon than the recipe called for and more beer also. I thickened using a little sour cream. Absolutely delicious! I will make it again for sure.

I made this last night for a dinner with 9 friends. I doubled the recipe and added 2 yelow onions and garlic when carmelizing the fennel. I also added a little flour during the thickening of the sauce at the end. Next time I might also add mushrooms. Good recipe!
