Introduction
A classic French chicken stew featuring browned, juicy chicken thighs and drumsticks braised in a rich, creamy white wine and mushroom sauce.
Step 1
Season the chicken thighs and drumsticks with salt and pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Melt butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Sear the chicken thighs skin-side down until golden brown, flip to sear the other side, then remove and set aside.
Step 4
Add the drumsticks to the same pan and sear until browned on all sides, then remove and set aside.
Step 5
In the same pot with the remaining chicken fat and butter, add onion wedges, halved mushrooms, bay leaves, and fresh thyme. Cook until the onions soften and mushrooms are browned.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Using bone-in, skin-on chicken yields the most flavorful and juicy results.
Searing the chicken first creates fond (browned bits) at the bottom of the pan, which adds immense depth to the sauce.
