Darabians Roasted Garlic Clove Chicken Thighs Recipes

D'ARABIAN'S ROASTED GARLIC CLOVE CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Rinse and pat dry the chicken. Salt and pepper liberally and allow to temper on a cutting board while preparing the garlic.
• In a large ovenproof sauté pan over medium heat, cook the whole garlic cloves in olive oil and butter, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden, about 10 minutes.
• Remove the garlic from the pan and set aside until Step 7.
• Increase the heat to medium-high and brown the chicken skin-side down until the skin is golden and crispy, about 5 minutes.
• Turn the chicken over, sprinkle on herbes de Provence.
• Add the garlic back to the pan and place hot pan in oven. Bake chicken until cooked through, about 25 minutes.
• Once the chicken is done, remove chicken thighs and garlic to a platter.
• Place the pan over medium-high heat and sprinkle the drippings with flour and stir to incorporate.
• Deglaze the pan with the stock and lemon juice. Pour the sauce over the chicken on the platter and serve with bread for sauce-mopping and garlic-spreading.

BRAISED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH 40 CLOVES OF GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Simmer the garlic in a saucepan of water until tender, about 10 minutes (this will soften the flavor). Drain and let cool, then pop the jackets off the cloves and reserve.
• Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the EVOO in a large ovenproof skillet. Add the chicken, skin-side down, and cook until the skin is browned and very crisp, 7 to 8 minutes. Flip the chicken and brown the other side, 3 to 4 minutes more. Remove the chicken to a plate. Melt the butter into the fat remaining in the skillet and add the mushrooms and thyme. Cook until the mushrooms are browned and very tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Deglaze with the Marsala, stirring and scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Return the chicken to the skillet, skin-side up, and add the garlic. Add enough stock to come up and around the chicken but not cover the skin. Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook for 45 minutes.
• Transfer the chicken to a warmed platter and loosely tent with foil. Reduce the sauce on the stovetop until it is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Add the kale and cook until just wilted, then stir in a bit of nutmeg.
• Spoon the sauce and kale into shallow bowls and top with the chicken. Serve with warm bread for mopping.
