Beer has traditionally been used to make beef stew and chili, but it’s also great with chicken. We chose to use economical drumsticks here, but skinless bone-in thighs would work equally well treated this way. Simply increase the broiling time by about 5 minutes. If you want to add a smoky flavor to the marinade, substitute 1 teaspoon finely chopped canned chipotles en adobo for the jalapeño pepper called for. If you do not have five-spice powder, use equal amounts of ground cinnamon, cloves, fennel seeds, star anise, and Szechuan peppercorns.
