Ingredients

• 4 pieces Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 6 cloves Garlic cloves
• 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary sprigs
• 0.5 cup White wine
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 leaf Bay leaf
• 2 tablespoons Parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken thighs evenly with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for 6-7 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip and sear the other side for another 4-5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Lower the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet. Add the garlic cloves (whole and slightly crushed) and rosemary sprigs, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Deglaze the pan with white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the wine simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 5

Stir in the chicken broth and tomato paste, mixing until well combined. Add the bay leaf to the sauce.

Step 6

Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up. Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken. Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 25-30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and tender (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).

Step 7

Remove the bay leaf and rosemary sprigs from the skillet. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 8

Serve the chicken hot, spooning plenty of sauce over each piece. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
