Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon olive oil
6 (4 ounce) bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, divided
¾ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
⅔ cup finely chopped yellow onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ cups uncooked long-grain rice
3 cups chicken stock, divided, or more to taste
1 tablespoon finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 medium lemon, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Heat oil in large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken thighs evenly with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
  • Place chicken skin-side down in the Dutch oven; cook undisturbed until golden crisp and easily released from the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip chicken and cook for 3 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and set aside. Chicken will not be cooked through at this point.
  • Add butter to the drippings and melt. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add garlic; cook for 1 minute. Add rice; cook, stirring to coat grains in drippings and lightly toast, about 1 minute. Stir in 3 cups stock and remaining salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Use a wooden spoon to scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the Dutch oven. Place the chicken thighs over the rice.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until all liquid has been absorbed and chicken is cooked through, 45 to 55 minutes. Add remaining stock if liquid is absorbed before rice and chicken are cooked through. Sprinkle with parsley and squeeze lemon juice over the top.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your dish. Choose fresh, flavorful chicken and vegetables, and use a good-quality olive oil.
  • Season your chicken generously: Don't be afraid to season your chicken well. A good blend of salt, pepper, and paprika will help to create a flavorful dish.
  • Cook your chicken thoroughly: Make sure that your chicken is cooked through before you add it to the rice. This will help to prevent foodborne illness.
  • Use a flavorful broth: The broth that you use to cook your rice will add a lot of flavor to the dish. Choose a broth that is flavorful and that complements the other ingredients in the dish.
  • Don't overcook the rice: Rice can easily become overcooked, so be careful not to cook it for too long. Overcooked rice will be mushy and unpleasant to eat.
