Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 tsp. coriander seeds
- 1/4 star anise pod
- 1 1/2 tsp. cracked black peppercorns
- 1 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper
- 1 tbsp. kosher salt
- 8 meaty chicken thighs
- 1/4 c. canola oil
- 1 large Spanish onion
- 1 large leek
- 2 plum tomatoes
- 3 sprig thyme
- 3 sprig oregano
- 1 c. dry red wine
- 1 tbsp. red wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp. honey
- Chopped parsley and chives
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a small skillet, toast the coriander, star anise, cracked peppercorns, and crushed red pepper over moderate heat, shaking the pan, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a spice grinder and let cool; pulse until coarsely ground. Add the salt. Rub the spices all over the chicken.
- In a large skillet, heat the oil. Add the chicken and cook over high heat, turning once, until deep golden, 10 minutes. Arrange the chicken in a roasting pan, skin side up. Pour off most of the oil from the skillet and add the onion and leek. Cook over moderate heat, stirring, until softened, 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, thyme, and oregano and cook until the tomatoes just begin to break down, 3 minutes. Add the red wine and cook until reduced to 1/4 cup, scraping up any bits stuck to the pan, 5 minutes. Stir in 1 cup of water and pour the mixture into the roasting pan.
- Cover the pan with foil and braise the chicken in the oven for about 1 hour, until cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate. Strain the sauce into a saucepan. Boil until the sauce is reduced to 1 cup, 5 minutes. Stir in the vinegar and honey; keep warm.
- Preheat the broiler. Return the chicken to the roasting pan, skin side up, and broil 8 inches from the heat for 2 minutes, until the skin is crisp. Sprinkle with the parsley and chives. Serve the chicken with the sauce. Looking for more chicken recipes? Try our collections of chicken breast recipes, chicken casserole recipes, and recipe for leftover chicken.
