01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 325°F (165°C). In a bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and black pepper. Coat the chicken thighs in this seasoned flour. Then, heat some vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken until it’s golden brown on both sides, about 5 to 8 minutes per side.

Step 2
Next, spread the potatoes, carrots, and cabbage in a large casserole dish and lay the browned chicken on top. In a separate bowl, combine the beef stock, stout beer, and brown sugar. In a small cup, mix the cornstarch with water until smooth, then stir this into the beer mixture. Pour everything evenly over the chicken and veggies.

Step 3
Cover the casserole and pop it into the oven. Let it bake for about an hour and 15 minutes. After that, take off the lid and bake it uncovered for another 45 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened nicely.
