Here’s an eye-candy shot of the deliciousness we’re about to create. Just look at that golden-brown chicken! 🤤
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 4 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour (for dredging)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup onion, thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 bell pepper, sliced (any color you like)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Fresh basil for garnish
Let’s Get Cookin!
Now that we have our ingredients prepped and ready, it’s time to start cooking. This part is where the flavor comes alive!
- First, season your chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Dredge each piece in flour, shaking off any excess. This will give our chicken a nice crispy coating.
- Heat up the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once that oil is hot, add the chicken thighs, skin side down. Sear them for about 5-7 minutes on each side until they’re golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- In that same skillet, throw in the onions and garlic. Sauté them until they’re soft and fragrant. You wanna capture all those flavors from the bottom of the pan!
- Now, pour in the red wine vinegar and scrape up all those tasty bits stuck to the pan. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes before stirring in the honey and chicken broth.
- Add your bell pepper slices and dried oregano to the mix. Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon some of that sweet and tangy sauce over the top.
- Cover the skillet and let it cook on low heat for about 30 minutes. This will let all the flavors meld together beautifully.
Get Ready to Serve!
Once it’s all done, plate your Chicken Agrodolce and garnish it with fresh basil. Trust me, your taste buds will be thanking you! Serve it up with some rice or couscous to soak up that incredible sauce. Enjoy!
