Simple Beer Braised Chicken Thighs for Tacos

Onions Diced ½ cup
Carrots Diced ½ Cup
Beer (Your Choice) 3 cups
Chicken Stock or Broth 1 cup

Pat chicken thighs with a clean dry towel to remove as much moisture as possible.
Dredge chicken thighs in taco seasoning completely covering.
In a hot pan with oil, brown seasoned chicken thighs.
After browning, place into a casserole dish, heavy roasting pan, or disposable aluminum pan and add in all ingredients.
Cover the pan with plastic wrap, then aluminum foil.
Bake at 350 for about 2-2 ½ hours until tender.
Remove from oven and allow time to rest at room temperature, just until you can safely pull the chicken apart with tongs.
If you used bone-in chicken, make sure to remove all bones.
Season with salt to taste if necessary.
