Savory Chicken

Directions

Using a heavy 12-inch skillet, heat the butter and oil and add 1 cup of the chicken pieces at a time.

Sauté over medium heat until golden.

Remove to a plate.

Sauté the rest of the chicken, adding more oil if necessary.

When all the chicken is sautéed, drain off any excess oil.

Put all the chicken pieces back in the pan, along with the chiles and garlic and add the beer.

A great head of steam will rise up the the most wonderful aroma.

Quickly now, clamp on the lid and turn the heat to low.

Check every 5 minutes and turn the chicken in the reducing broth.

Cook for about 15 to 18 minutes.
