Instructions

Preheat oven to 375℉.
Clean the chicken thighs, pat them dry and cut them in half.
In a large Dutch oven or oven proof skillet add the olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add chicken thighs and cook on both sides just until they start to brown and are no longer pink. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
Add the cloves of garlic to the same skillet. Season with cumin, dill, thyme, salt, pepper and stir. Add the wine, stir a bit and scrape all the pieces from the bottom of the skillet, then cook for about 2 minutes just until the wine reduces a bit and the garlic starts to brown.
Stir in the chicken broth then add the chicken back to the skillet. Cover the skillet with a lid and place in the oven for about 20 minutes.
Garnish with parsley and serve warm over rice or noodles.

Notes

Prep garlic in advance: Peel the garlic cloves ahead of time to save time during cooking.
Use a heavy skillet: A Dutch oven or heavy skillet ensures even cooking and great flavor.
Adjust the garlic: If you prefer a milder garlic flavor, use fewer cloves.
Check for doneness: Make sure the chicken is fully cooked by checking that it reaches an internal temperature of 165℉.
Leftovers: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to maintain the chicken's juiciness.
