Ingredients

2poundsbone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, trimmed

1cupfeta, green oliveordill pickle brine

½teaspoonground pepper

1tablespoonextra-virgin olive oil

½cupchopped tender herbs, such as dill, basil, parsleyand/orcilantro, plus more for serving

½cupfinely chopped shallots

3clovesgarlic, thinly sliced

½cupdry white wine

½cuplow-sodium chicken broth

1tablespoonlemon juice

Directions

Place chicken in a large sealable plastic bag or nonreactive container just large enough to hold it in an even layer. Pour in brine and seal. Refrigerate, turning the chicken once or twice, for at least 3 hours and up to 12 hours.

Discard the brine and pat the chicken dry; season with pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, skin-side down, and cook until the skin is golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip the chicken, reduce heat to medium-low, cover and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part without touching bone registers 165°F, 12 to 15 minutes more. Transfer to a plate.

Return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the pan and turn to coat in the sauce. Sprinkle with more herbs, if desired.

To make ahead

Brine chicken (Step 1) for up to 12 hours.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)

  • Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
