Savory Wine-Braised Chicken Thighs

Indulge in tender chicken thighs slow-cooked in a rich red wine sauce, filled with aromatic herbs and spices. This dish is perfect for a cozy dinner with a touch of elegance.

Steps

1. Season the chicken thigh with salt and pepper on both sides. 2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thigh skin-side down until golden brown, about 5 minutes. 3. Flip the chicken and add chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onion is translucent. 4. Pour in the red wine and chicken broth, then add thyme and bay leaf. 5. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat to low, and cover. Cook for about 25 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender. 6. Remove the chicken and keep warm. Increase heat to medium, and let the sauce reduce for about 5 minutes. 7. Stir in butter for a silky finish, then serve the chicken with the sauce drizzled over it.
