Directions

Pat the chicken thighs dry, and season with salt and pepper.

Heat 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add the chicken and brown on both sides in 2 batches.

Remove the chicken to a plate and spoon out 1/2 the drippings, and add the andouille sausage. Brown for 2 minutes and then add the onion, celery, pepper, garlic, and thyme, and cook to soften, for about 10 minutes over medium heat.

Add the flour, stir 1 to 2 minutes, and then pour in the beer and let the foam subside. Stir in the tomatoes, stock, and hot sauce. Let the sauce thicken a bit, and then slide the chicken into the pot and simmer to cook through. Serve with warm crusty bread, or cool and store for make-ahead meal.

    This was fantastic! I got a shiny new Dutch oven for Christmas and this was a perfect dish to christen it! Followed the directions exactly and served over rice. Couldn't be happier!

    So easy! I Warm crusty bread is a must to mop up the sauce. I also add a bit of lemon juice right before serving to kick it up a notch.

    We loved this! I didn't think there was too much liquid - as a matter of fact, we would have liked more. I only used 1 Tbsp of Tabasco in it, because my son doesn't like things too spicy, but then we added some Tabasco to our plates. I served it with a cornbread casserole and the flavors went together very well. Now I want to try it with the baguette and my husband has requested rice another time. This is definitely a keeper.
    I served it with chopped green onion and cilantro for garnish, because another reviewer said that the cilantro was good - we agree that it is! Thanks for another great dinner, Rachel! :
