Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  2. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  3. 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  4. 1 tablespoon canola oil
  5. 3/4 cup dry white wine
  6. 1/4 cup pitted kalamata olives, halved
  7. 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  8. 1 head garlic (preferably heirloom; see Cook’s Note), separated into cloves and peeled (about 10 cloves)
  9. 1 medium shallot, sliced into rings

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

Delicious recipe. Easy to make. I loved the sauce & might double sauce portion next time because I love a lot of delicious sauce. Moreover, w/ 10 garlic cloves, it had to be a good recipe.

Oh my goodness, this is delicious!! I didn’t have white wine but I had dry sherry so I used that. I mixed a little over a 1/4 cup of the sherry with a 1 1/2 cups of chicken broth because I wanted more sauce. Trying to “make more” as I only had 4 thighs, I added a can of drained cannelloni beans. I browned the chicken on the stove a few extra minutes, and then with everything added put it in in the oven for 50 minutes. This is DEFINITELY going into the regular dinner rotation.

Really good flavors! Made it with 4 thighs and cooked for about 50 minutes. I served it with buttered tarragon peas. Will definitely be making this again!
Danielle May
delicious. Used artichoke hearts and 1/2 small onion chunked. Can use what you have but must have garlic.
