Here is your shopping list: olive oil (or your favorite cooking oil), bone-in chicken thighs, shallots, white wine (see Recipe Notes), chicken broth, butter and a fresh herb.

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Servings: 6

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 - 6 bone-in chicken thighs 
• 1 shallot, minced
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup white wine 
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon fresh herb or choice (rosemary, sage, thyme, oregano, basil, parsley, etc.)

Recipe Notes

• Instead of using one herb, use a combination.

• If you don't want to use wine, just add more chicken broth. 

Here's how to make it: 

1. Heat the olive oil until very hot in an ovenproof skillet, preferably cast iron, and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Season the chicken on both sides with salt and black pepper. Put the chicken into the oil, skin side down, and cook until golden, about 5 to 6 minutes. Flip the chicken over. Put the chicken into the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until it reaches 165 degrees F internal temperature. 
2. When the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven. Transfer the chicken from the skillet to a plate while you make the sauce. 
3. Add the shallot and garlic to the pan and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the wine and simmer for about 3 minutes. Add the chicken broth and cook until liquid has been reduced by half. Stir in the butter and herbs. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
4. Put the chicken back into the pan and drizzle with the sauce.
