Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 3 ripe peaches, sliced
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup self-rising flour
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 cup water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the chicken thighs with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
In a large oven-safe skillet or cast iron pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
Sear the chicken thighs skin-side down for 4-5 minutes until golden brown. Flip and sear the other side for 2-3 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside on a plate.
In the same pan, melt the butter and stir in the brown sugar, honey, and cinnamon to create a glaze. Add the sliced peaches and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Pour 1 cup of water into the pan and return the seared chicken thighs back to the skillet, nestled among the peaches. Remove from heat.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour, granulated sugar, and milk until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Carefully pour the batter over the chicken and peaches, evenly spreading it but without mixing it into the pan.
Bake the skillet in the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the cobbler topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the batter comes out clean.
Let the Peach Cobbler Chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with the peaches and cobbler topping spooned over the chicken.
