Follow these easy steps to create your own Sweet & Savory Guinness Glazed Chicken:

1. Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, combine Guinness, brown sugar, soy sauce, maple syrup, garlic, black pepper, salt, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for maximum flavor.

2. Preheat Oven: While the chicken is marinating, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking.

3. Sear Chicken: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (saving the marinade for later) and sear it in the skillet for about 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

4. Bake Chicken: Pour the reserved marinade over the chicken and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the glaze is caramelized.

5. Serve: Remove from the oven, allowing the chicken to rest for about 5 minutes before serving. This helps to retain juices and keep the chicken tender.
