For the chicken:
1 cup brown ale
2 Tbsp kosher salt
2 Tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp onion powder
6 boneless skinless chicken thighs
For the glaze:
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2/3 cup stout beer
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
3 Tbsp tomato paste
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 Tbsp Sriracha hot pepper sauce
1 tsp onion powder
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 tsp smoked paprika

1
In a medium bowl stir together the brown ale, salt granulated sugar, and onion powder. Add the chicken thighs. Refrigerate and brine for 2 to 4 hours.
2
While the chicken is brining, place 6 wooden skewers in water, allow to soak for 30 minutes to one hour.
3
Prepare the glaze. Heat olive oil over medium high heat, add the garlic (tip: use a microplane to quickly reduce garlic to a paste in seconds, rather than mincing with a knife), stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a strong simmer until thickened, about 8 minutes.
4
Preheat grill to medium high.
5
Remove chicken from brine, rinse well and pat dry.
6
Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces, thread onto prepared skewers.
7
Brush the chicken on all sides with glaze, place on the grill, close lid.
8
After two minutes, turn and brush with additional glaze. Repeat until chicken is cooked through, about 6 minutes.
