Boneless skinless. Season well. Put under broiler. Flip a couple of times. Fat crips up. Damn good

I do this except I make it a little more unhealthy by sauteeing onion and garlic in the pot after the chicken is removed (and I sear the chicken with a light dusting of flour), deglazing with wine and broth and herbs.. and then putting in the oven to cook in the juices.. and pop on the stove at the end for a little extra reducing to make the pan gravy thicker.


So you make smothered chicken? I do the exact same thing except I sometimes cut a whole chicken into 10 pieces instead of thighs and add carrots and jalapeños when sautéing the veggies and usually just finish on the stove top. We always called it smothered chicken and served it over rice. I could live on it.

Marinate in soy and garlic. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Sear in a hot cast iron and finish in oven. In a separate pan use the remaining soy marinade to make a sauce. Add a touch of butter n chicken stock with a little Cajun seasoning. Drizzle over thighs. And rice.
Next time I make this I will post pics. Simple and delicious.

That sounds like a little too much sodium for me, but it sounds good.

I brine mine first.

1/2 gallon water
1/4 cup salt
1/4 sugar
1 TBS pepper corns
2 TBS herb de provance

Boil the water, add all of the other ingredients and stir till disolved. After it cools pour it over the chicken and let it sit 8-20 hours in the fridge. The next day I either bake them, smother them with onions in a black iron pot (we call that sticky chicken) or cook them in the Big Easy Oil Less Fryer

I adore smothered chicken, but I thought it started with a roux...? This is regular braising. No different than braising short ribs or something like that.

Once you get used to braising, Kosmo, you'll always want to do it with chicken and fattier meat like short ribs. It's hard to beat rich, tender meat that cooks in all those juices.

In Mamou, you just made "a sauce", as I'm betting you know. A little Evangeline Parish sausage would go good with that.

My Basile relatives call it "a sauce" too.
