Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 12 ounces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 5 ounces tomatoes - see Ingredients section for more!
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¼ cup dry sherry - see Ingredients section for more!
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 medium onion - cut in wedges
  • 8 ounces kumquats, sliced
  • 5 Calabrian peppers - sliced; about 1 tablespoon (see Ingredients section for more)
  • 1 pound new potatoes, larger ones sliced lengthwise - optional
  • sea salt and fresh ground pepper
  • fresh herbs, chopped - for garnish; see Ingredients section for suggestions

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°. Add a drizzle of oil to the pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs. Sear/brown on both sides. Remove and set aside.
  • Sauté the tomatoes over medium-high heat until they show some caramelization, and begin to burst. Add the ground cumin and garlic, and sauté until fragrant. De-glaze the pan with the dry sherry.
  • Whisk together the honey and the chicken broth. Add to the skillet along with the sliced kumquats and Calabrian peppers. Stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Check seasoning.
  • Nestle the chicken thighs in the skillet with the tops exposed to the oven. Do the same with the onion wedges and optional potatoes. If the skillet looks dry, add a little more chicken broth.
  • Place the skillet in the oven. Cook until the chicken thighs reach an internal temperature of 165°, and potatoes are tender.
  • Plate the chicken, spooning sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh herbs as desired.
