This recipe uses skin-on bone-in chicken thighs. Once out of the oven the chicken skin is crispy and the chicken itself is perfectly soft.

Crispy chicken skin. My favorite part of chicken thighs is the skin. Its so crispy and tasty—how could anyone resist it.

1) Before I start cooking I always pat the chicken thighs dry on all sides with paper towels before cooking.The dryer the chicken skin, the better it will crisp when cooked.

2) Next, start with high heat to get a nice crusty texture and brown chicken thighs skin side down first. When searing in a skillet, give the chicken skin time to sear properly and form a crust.
Resist the urge to flip it too soon, the skin might stick to the skillet and tear. It can take up to 5 minutes, but I usually start checking by gently lifting the chicken after 4 minutes.

3) Finally, chicken thighs are transferred to the oven and cooked at a temperature of 400 F. Once in the oven, no turning or flipping or poking your chicken.

Ingredients

Chicken:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 chicken thighs with skin and bones
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Sauce:

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic chopped
  • 2 tablespoons plain flour
  • 1 cup white wine
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon Mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4-5 medium red potatoes (cut in 1 inch chunks)
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme plus extra to serve

Instructions

  • Sautéing the chicken: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Season chicken with salt, pepper and Italian seasoning on both sides. Cook the chicken on medium high, skin side down,  until golden brown, then flip over and cook on the other side, 4 to 5 minutes per side; transfer chicken to a plate. Chicken will not be cooked through at this point.
  • Add 1 tablespoon butter to the now empty skillet that has fats from chicken and olive oil. Add chopped garlic and cook for 2 minutes until fragrant. Add flour. Stir to create a paste. Cook for 1 minute. Add wine and cook until it reduces a bit. Add chicken broth. Whisk in heavy cream and Dijon mustard until well incorporated. Add salt and fresh thyme leaves. Cook, whisking constantly, for 2 to 3 minutes or until mixture thickens and becomes smooth. Remove from heat.
  • Preheat oven to 400 F.
  • Add removed chicken back to the skillet with sauce. Surround it with potatoes. I didn't spoon the sauce over the chicken in order to ensure proper browning during baking process. Add more fresh thyme sprigs and fresh rosemary on top of chicken and potatoes. Cover with foil or lid.
  • Put the skillet with chicken into the oven covered and bake at 400 F for 50 minutes. Increase temperature to 425 F, uncover and continue cooking for 10 more minutes until chicken is dark brown. Check to make sure chicken is cooked all the way through. Stand 5 minutes. If desired, remove rosemary and thyme sprigs before serving. Serve sprinkled with extra thyme.

    Hi, Oyla! In this recipe you state to season chicken with salt and pepper AND ITALIAN SEASONING. Do you mean oth fresh thyme and rosemary or do you mean Italian Seasoning from bottle and if so, how much e.g. 1/2tsp, 2tsp, etc? I’m confused! Thank you, can’t wait to make this recipe!!

      I see why you got confused – I just updated the instructions to make it more clear. I meant Italian seasoning from the bottle. I used 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning just eyeballed salt and pepper.

    How would I adjust the cooking time if I were to use boneless chicken breast instead?

      You can cook it on the stove top entirely or put it in the oven and reduce cooking time by 10-15 minutes
