Beer crockpot chicken with mashed potatoes

I've seen beer chicken everywhere and I love it off of the grill but with it getting colder outside (and my getting lazier haha) I wanted to try it in the crockpot instead. I just did a basic one because I had a million things to do along with a play date. So here we go.

4 chicken thighs
1 bottle of your favorite beer
Salt
Pepper
Dried parsley
Garlic powder


(and everything for your favorite mashed potatoes)
 I use 1 medium baking potato for each person
4-5 tbspns butter
4-5 tbspns condensed milk

So I started by mixing together the chicken with some basic seasonings salt, pepper, garlic powder and dried parsley and tossed it in the crockpot.



Next add your favorite kind of beer. Alright so Corona isn't my favorite kind but it's what I had in the fridge. This would be really good with some Blue Moon and a few orange slices.






Let that go in the crockpot about 4 hours on low.



Once its done set it on keep warm and make your mashed potatoes. If you don't have a preferred recipe then here's a quick version of mine. Boil your potatoes in water for about 30 minutes or until very tender. Put them in a boil and use a fork or potato masher to mash them until how you like them. Add 3 tablespoons of butter to start with and mix it in then do the same with the condensed milk. Keep going back and forth until it comes together how you like it. Add salt and pepper to taste.








Put the potatoes on your plate, and put the chicken on top. I like to top mine with a last minute sprinkle of salt and dried parsley. Enjoy!
