Braised Chicken Thighs With Red Rice As Made By Hugh Acheson Recipe By Tasty

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
• In a large bowl, evenly season chicken thighs with salt, pepper, paprika, and parsley.
• On high, heat olive oil in a oven-proof pot and place chicken thighs, skin-side down, in the hot oil. Cook 5-6 minutes or the thighs develop brown crispy skin and flip over.
• Cook an additional 5-6 minutes to brown the other side and remove from the pot.
• Add the garlic and onions to the pot, and cook until the onions are transparent.
• Pour in the rice and chicken broth to the pot and season with salt and pepper. Stir well, bringing to a boil.
• Add the chicken thighs back into the pot, skin-side up, on top of the rice, bring back to a boil and cover with a lid.
• Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked.
• NOTE: For a crispy skin, remove chicken thighs and broil.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
• Heat a cast-iron skillet or pan over medium-high heat, and add the chicken skin side down.
• Cook the chicken until it has a dark brown and crispy skin. Flip the chicken and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 5 more minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
• Add the garlic and onion to the remaining chicken fat and cook, stirring frequently until the onions are softened and caramelized.
• Add the brown sugar, chicken broth, thyme, and parsley and stir to combine. Bring the sauce to a boil and and cook for 1-2 minutes, until slightly reduced.
• Add the chicken back to the pan and coat it in the garlic brown sugar sauce.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Season the chicken thighs on both sides with the salt and pepper.
• Heat the oil in a wide, heavy-bottomed pot with a lid over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the chicken thighs, skin-side down and let cook without disturbing for 10 minutes. This will allow the skin to caramelize and develop a ton of flavor in the process. Turn the thighs over, cook for 1 minute more, then transfer to a plate.
• Add the onion, tomatoes, poblano, garlic, and paprika to the pan. Cook for 5 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.
• Carefully add the vinegar and stir to loosen any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pot. Cook until the vinegar is reduced by half, 2-4 minutes, then pour in the stock.
• Return the chicken to the pan, skin-side up. Cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 20 minutes, then remove lid and continue cooking until the internal temperature of the chicken thighs reaches 165˚F (75˚C).
• Meanwhile, make the red rice: In a large pan, cook the slab bacon over medium heat until the fat renders and it begins to crisp, 5-8 minutes.
• Add the onion, bell pepper, celery, and jalapeño and cook until softened, about 10 minutes.
• Add the rice and stir until toasted, about 2 minutes.
• Stir in the tomatoes, ½ cup (100 G) of the reserved tomato juice, bay leaves, and season with salt. 9. Add the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 20 minutes, until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
• Serve the chicken over the rice with some of the braising jus and vegetables ladled over.
• Enjoy!
