Ingredients

  • 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1.2kg)
  • 400g frozen pearl onions, thawed
  • 400g can artichoke hearts, drained and quartered
  • 400g can crushed tomatoes
  • 150ml red wine
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 3 whole cloves
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 250ml chicken stock
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

1

Season chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

2

Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Brown chicken thighs in batches, about 4 minutes per side until golden. Set aside on a plate.

3

Reduce heat to medium and add remaining olive oil. Add pearl onions and cook for 5-6 minutes until lightly caramelized, stirring occasionally.

4

Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in tomato paste and cook for another minute.

5

Pour in red wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Let simmer for 2 minutes.

6

Add crushed tomatoes, chicken stock, red wine vinegar, honey, cinnamon stick, cloves, bay leaves, oregano, and allspice. Stir to combine.

7

Return chicken thighs to the pot, nestling them into the sauce. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes.

8

Add quartered artichoke hearts, gently pushing them into the sauce. Cover and continue cooking for 15-20 minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F) when measured at the thickest part.

9

Remove cinnamon stick, cloves, and bay leaves. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

10

Let rest for 5 minutes, then serve garnished with fresh parsley alongside crusty bread or rice pilaf.
