Time 1h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 stick butter, softened
1 large shallot, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 clove garlic, crushed
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 ½ tablespoons soy sauce
1 ½ tablespoons red wine
1 tablespoon white sugar
6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, excess fat trimmed
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups chicken stock

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Mix butter, shallot, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until melted, about 1 minute. Add soy sauce, wine, and sugar; mix well.
  • Pat chicken completely dry. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet until shimmering. Arrange thighs skin-side down in the skillet. Brown in batches until crispy enough to release from the pan, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
  • Spoon some of the butter mixture onto the skinless side of the thighs. Flip over and pour the rest of the mixture around the thighs, avoiding the skins. Add chicken stock slowly until about 3/4 of the way up the thighs. Scrape up browned bits into the sauce.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 40 to 50 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

SKILLET CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOM WINE SAUCE



Skillet Chicken With Mushroom Wine Sauce image

Easy and delicious recipe. Great for a weeknight, and fit for company. Everyone is always impressed with this. Oh, except for my kids, they hated mushrooms and still do, even though they're all grown up now! I have also used boneless, skinless chicken thighs here. If you don't want to make the cutlets yourself, you can usually buy them at the grocer, or have them cut them for you.

SKILLET CHICKEN THIGHS WITH WHITE WINE-BUTTER SAUCE



Skillet Chicken Thighs with White Wine-Butter Sauce image

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Sprinkle them on both sides with 1 1/2 teaspoons each salt and pepper.Heat a large oven-proof skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs to the skillet skin-side down and cook, moving them around once or twice to ensure even browning, until the skin is very golden brown, 11 to 12 minutes.Turn off the heat. Grasp a wad of paper towels with tongs and mop up excess fat in the bottom of the skillet-this will prevent the grease from spattering all over your oven; carefully discard the paper towel. Repeat several times until there's only a thin film of oil over the bottom of the skillet.Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast until the chicken is almost cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Flip the thighs so they are skin side up, then continue roasting until no longer pink near the bone, another 6 minutes. Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the chicken thighs to a plate, skin side up. Wipe out the skillet and set aside.Meanwhile, start your sauce. Combine the vinegar, wine, shallots, lemon juice and bay leaves in a heavy 2-quart saucepan. Simmer over medium heat until the mixture is reduced to a wet paste, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the cream and continue to simmer until the mixture is reduced to about 2 tablespoons.Reduce the heat to low and remove the bay leaves. Add a few chunks of the butter and whisk constantly until melted, then add a few more chunks and whisk again until melted. Continue adding and whisking the butter, which should melt into a creamy emulsion, until all the butter is incorporated, about 4 minutes. Do not let the sauce go over 130 degrees F or it will separate. If the sauce starts to break, remove from the heat, add 2 ice cubes and whisk until it cools down and comes back together.Season the sauce with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper. Transfer it to the cast iron skillet, nestle the chicken on top and sprinkle the whole dish with chives. Serve immediately.Source: foodnetwork.comRecipe formatted with the Cook'n Recipe Software from DVO Enterprises.
