Braised Chicken Thighs

by Irene Lindvall


My intention was to make this for dinner last night, but when I read the recipe at 4:30pm and it said it needed 1hr 15 in the oven I realized there was no way it was going to be ready in time for bowling. I ended up making it for lunch today before we left on our vacation. I thought over an hour to cook chicken seemed a little ridiculous, but these little thighs were worth the wait. The recipe is incredibly straight forward - probably because it's another one from Cooking for Two from the America's Test Kitchen. The flavors were all so amazing and we were both so impressed how the chicken turned out.

Things I learned from this recipe:

I really should've served them with something else, but I was too busy packing and cleaning so all we had was the chicken. 

Would I make this recipe again?:

Yes - I'm pondering making it for family for Christmas dinner.

The recipe - another great one from Cooking for Two 2012, America's Test Kitchen.
