Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 2 teaspoons Ground coriander
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (coriander leaves), chopped
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cups Chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season them with salt, black pepper, paprika, and 1 teaspoon of ground coriander.
Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side down, and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the chopped onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the garlic, grated ginger, cumin powder, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of ground coriander. Cook for another 1 minute, stirring frequently to toast the spices.
Add the soy sauce, lime juice, honey, and chicken stock to the skillet, stirring to combine.
Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up, nestling them into the liquid. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Cover the skillet with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and braise for 30 minutes, occasionally spooning the sauce over the chicken.
After 30 minutes, remove the lid and allow the sauce to simmer uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly and the chicken is tender.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve hot with steamed rice, crusty bread, or roasted vegetables.
