Heirloom Garlic Clove Chicken Thighs

Fantastic flavorful dish! Just amazing! Juicy chicken thighs with a nice salty brine is like no other!

Total: 1 hr 30 min

Active: 15 min

Yield: 4 servings


Ingredients

6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

1 tablespoon canola oil

3/4 cup dry white wine

1/4 cup pitted kalamata olives, halved

2 sprigs fresh thyme

1 head heirloom garlic, separated into cloves and peeled (about 10 cloves)

1 medium shallot, sliced into rings


Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Season the chicken with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper. Heat the butter and oil in a large, deep cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the chicken skin-side down and cook, undisturbed, until deep golden brown, about 5 minutes. Turn the chicken over and turn off the heat. Add the wine, then nestle the olives, thyme, garlic and shallot around the chicken. Return the liquid to a simmer over medium-high heat, then transfer to the oven and roast until the chicken is golden and cooked through, about 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Transfer the chicken, garlic and olives to a serving dish with a slotted spoon. Use a ladle to remove as much fat as possible from the surface of the liquid in the skillet, then pour the liquid over the chicken.
