Description

Ingredients

• 4 to 6 bone-in chicken thighs
• 6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• zest of 1 lemon
• juice of 1 lemon
• 4 garlic cloves, minced, divided
• 1 cup white wine (use a wine that you like)
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions

• Place chicken on a cutting board or a large plate.
• Pour 3 tablespoons olive oil over chicken thighs. (not 3 tablespoons over each piece, but over all 6 pieces)
• Season chicken thighs with salt, pepper, paprika, thyme, lemon zest, lemon juice and 2 minced garlic cloves; rub the mixture evenly over the chicken thighs. You can also combine seasonings in a bowl, mix well, and rub it over the chicken thighs.
• Place in a large bowl or ziploc bag and refrigerate for about 2 hours. IF you dont have that much time, 20 minutes is good, too. But it does taste better after a couple of hours.
• Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large non-stick skillet.
• Add chicken and, cooking over medium heat, brown the chicken on both sides; about 6 minutes per side.
• Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
• Add remaining minced garlic to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, for one minute. Do not burn the garlic.
• Carefully add wine to the skillet.
• Stir in parsley.
• Transfer chicken back to skillet and bring to a boil.
• Cover with a lid and continue to cook over medium-low heat for 20 to 22 minutes, or until done, turning the chicken over half way through cooking.
• Add 1/4-cup more wine if it looks too dry when you go to turn over the chicken.
• Remove from heat.
• Transfer chicken to serving dish and spoon sauce over the chicken.
• Serve.
