Ingredients

  • 6 pieces dark meat chicken , skin and bone on
  • kosher salt and black pepper
  • 2 heads of garlic , peeled
  • 2 Tablespoons flour
  • 1 cup white wine
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 cups frozen green peas

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Using a cast iron skillet or any other heavy bottomed pan that is at least 8-9 inches across that you have, start heating up your pan on medium heat.
  2. Liberally season the chicken pieces with kosher salt and black pepper.
  3. Put skin side down in the skillet and leave it completely alone for at least 5 minutes.
  4. On medium heat, this should render some of the fat out of the skin and give you a nice golden brown color.
  5. Turn the chicken and cook for an additional five minutes.
  6. You should have some fat in the pan at this point.
  7. Take the chicken out for a couple of minutes and put the garlic cloves in the pan.
  8. Cook them until they are slightly browned but not dark. Garlic goes from delicious to bitter very quickly.
  9. Once the garlic is browning, add the flour into the pan and stir until it is absorbed by the oil. If for some reason you don't have a couple of tablespoons worth of fat in the pan, you can add in some canola oil here. Both times I have made it, I had plenty in the pan.
  10. Add the wine and the chicken broth to the pan.
  11. Taste for salt and pepper, add some here if you feel you need more.
  12. Add the chicken back in, skin side up.
  13. The liquids should only go up about 2/3 of the chicken.
  14. Simmer on your stovetop for 20 minutes on medium heat.
  15. Stir in the peas, and continue to cook for another 3-5 minutes.

Notes

  • Note: You can also easily use white meat if you prefer. Brown the chicken, cooking it all the way through, then remove. Continue cooking the recipe the rest of the way without the chicken. Add the chicken back in when you add the peas. The last thing you want to do is braise white meat chicken. You may not have to cook it for quite as long, maybe only ten minutes for the sauce to reduce, since you aren't cooking the chicken in it.
