Clinton Kelly's Chicken Thigh Osso Bucco
Description
Clinton Kelly's Chicken Thigh Osso Bucco features chicken thighs cooked slowly in a combination of vegetables and aromatics. The dish begins by coating chicken thighs with flour and spices then searing them to develop a golden crust. Onions, carrots, and garlic are softened in the same pot, allowing their flavors to meld with tomato paste and white wine. Chicken stock and herbs such as rosemary and thyme are added to create a fragrant braising liquid. Cooking the chicken covered at low heat ensures tenderness and infuses the meat with the sauce's richness.
The resulting dish offers a balance of textures, from the crispy browned edges of the thighs to the soft vegetables nestled in the reduced sauce. Serving the chicken and sauce over mashed potatoes provides a comforting, hearty meal that highlights the savory, herb-infused sauce.
For best results, allow the sauce to reduce properly before adding the chicken back to the pan. Simmering gently for 45 minutes ensures the chicken cooks through and absorbs the braising liquid's flavor. Garnishing with parsley adds a fresh brightness to the dish.
Ingredients
- 8 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin on)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

- Dredge chicken in seasoned flour to help develop a crispy exterior when seared.
- Reduce the wine and stock mixture by half before adding chicken to intensify the sauce.
- Simmer covered on low heat for 45 minutes to ensure tender, fully cooked chicken.
- Serve over mashed potatoes to complement the sauce and vegetables.
- Garnish with fresh parsley to brighten the dish visually and flavor-wise.
