Root Beer lovers will be smitten with this Chicken with Root Beer Glaze. The glaze is a wonderful combo of sweet and spicy. The sauce can be made ahead of time and then this recipe quickly cooks up for a weeknight dinner.

Root Beer is not just for drinking! And that’s a good thing because I’m not a fan of drinking Root Beer, but I do buy it because my son loves the stuff. I wanted to give cooking with it a try because I hate to not like something and I thought it might be more palatable in food form. And it was.

Root Beer Glaze is the perfect sweet and spicy accompaniment to chicken and it goes wonderfully with mashed sweet potatoes. Not only does the root beer help give the glaze a nice deep caramel color, it gives a nice zip to the flavor.

Recipe Tips

If your jalapeno is really spicy, you may not want to add the whole thing. You be the judge. You can always add more but you can’t take away. 🙂

Boneless, skinless chicken thighs can be used instead of chicken breasts.

Cook this chicken on either a grill pan or a gas grill.

Chicken with Root Beer Glaze is sure to become a family favorite.
