Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350. In a small bowl combine brown sugar, chili powder, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper; rub into chicken. Let stand 10 minutes. (I threw mine back in the fridge until I was ready to start dinner.)
In an extra-large ovenproof skillet heat oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook until well browned on both sides and skin is crispy. Remove chicken from skillet. Drain fat, reserving 1 Tbsp.
In the same skillet cook and stir the onion, celery, and carrots in the reserved fat about 5 minutes or until tender. Stir in flour; cook and stir 1 minute. Stir in beer and broth. Bring to a simmer. Return chicken to skillet. Add garlic. Cover and bake 40 minutes. Sprinkle with celery leaves and thyme.
