Zubereitungszeit ca. 65 MinutenVorbereitung ca. 20 MinutenKochzeit ca. 45 Minuten
Zutaten:
- 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 1 to 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 bunch cilantro, (leaves and tender stems, chopped)
- 2 limes, (juiced)
- 6 garlic cloves, (roughly chopped)
- 1 teaspoon sweet Spanish paprika, (or hot paprika, if you like)
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Arbeitsschritte:
- Get ready. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- Season the chicken. In a small bowl, combine the sweet paprika, garlic powder, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Pat the chicken thighs dry, then season them all over, including underneath the skin. Let the chicken sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes while the oven heats.
- Sear the chicken. Heat 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken skin-side down and leave it undisturbed until the skin releases easily and turns deeply golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip and brown the second side for about 4 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
- Make the cilantro lime sauce. Lower the heat to medium-low and add the white wine. Let it cook for a few minutes to reduce, gently scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the garlic, lime juice, and most of the cilantro, reserving a little for garnish.
- Simmer the chicken in the cilantro lime sauce. Return the chicken to the skillet and bring the sauce back to a simmer. Simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Bake. Cover the skillet with a lid or foil and transfer it to the oven. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and registers 165°F at the thickest part.
- Rest and serve. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with the reserved cilantro and serve with plenty of the pan sauce.
