This chicken with beer is known at my family as Grandma´s chicken. It is made with few and simple ingredients but the result is mouth-watering. I warn you that you will need some bread, as the sauce is amazing for some bread dipping. Enjoy it!

Notes
- For me, the best beer for this dish is a lager, like Heineken. If you like the taste of stronger beers feel free to try it.
- You can also add a glass of white wine instead of beer, it will be a bit sweeter but also great.
