Very moist and absolutely delicious. The only change I made was to turn up the oven to 400 and cook a little longer until the hens had browned. I'd also recommend throwing a little more garlic on the pan... my kids went through the roasted garlic like it was candy.

Never had a chili quite like this, and while the ingredients are a bit different, the combination of flavors is awesome. I tweaked it just a little... added a little more meat, used 2 decent sized chopped jalapenos (with the seeds), and at the end, added a little water and flour just to thicken it slightly. Everything else was done exactly to the letter. The heat was perfect for my family's tastes, and the beer/coffee/cocoa give it a wonderful flavor. This is now my favorite chili!

I did not have any apples on hand, so instead I added a (small) handful of dried cranberries, to try give it a little of the fruit and sweetness an apple would have added. Not being a fan of heavy cream (and especially not the calories!), I upped the flour to 2 tablespoons. Also added a handful of chopped fresh spinach, and a clove of garlic. It's wonderful straight off the stove... can't wait to try it tomorrow when the flavors have had a chance to blend!
