Steps

1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. 2. Season the chicken thigh with salt, pepper, thyme, and paprika. 3. Sear the chicken thigh skin-side down for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes. 4. Remove the chicken and set aside. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until soft, about 3 minutes. 5. Pour in the beer, scraping any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer. 6. Return the chicken to the skillet, skin-side up. Cover and reduce heat to low, cooking for 25-30 minutes until the chicken is tender and cooked through. 7. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
