SEARED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH PLUM GLAZE
This came from Fresh Market. Once a week they have cooking presentations that they do and you get to sample what they cooked. This one Sat. was this and it was so delicious. Putting recipe here so I don't lose it. The wine that they used was called Diseno Malbec but I am sure any red would work. For the chutney they used the brand Virginia Chutney Company. Serve over garlic mashed potatoes or wild rice.

PLUM-GLAZED ROAST CHICKEN
I adjusted a recipe for duck so I could use a chicken instead, and it's been a favorite holiday entree ever since. I've also substituted a small 9- to 11-pound turkey.-Lily Julow, Lawrenceville, Georgia

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken thighs: Look for bone-in, skin-on thighs for the best flavor and texture. If you prefer boneless, skinless thighs, be sure to cook them over medium heat to prevent them from drying out.
- Pat the chicken thighs dry: This will help the skin crisp up and prevent the chicken from steaming.
- Season the chicken thighs liberally: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. Paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder are all good choices.
- Sear the chicken thighs over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the chicken while keeping the inside moist.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the chicken thighs until they are cooked through: This will take about 15-20 minutes, depending on the size of the thighs.
- Make the plum glaze while the chicken thighs are cooking: This will give the glaze time to thicken and develop its flavor.
- Brush the plum glaze on the chicken thighs during the last few minutes of cooking: This will help to caramelize the glaze and give the chicken a beautiful shine.
- Serve the chicken thighs immediately with your favorite sides: Mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and rice are all good choices.
Conclusion:
Seared chicken thighs with plum glaze is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the plum glaze adds a sweet and tangy flavor that is sure to please everyone at the table. With just a few simple ingredients and steps, you can create this restaurant-quality dish in your own home. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give this recipe a try!
