Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 1/2 pounds bone-in chicken thighs (about 6 to 8)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 medium yellow onions, quartered and thinly sliced crosswise
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 medium russet potato, small dice
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth

Directions

Combine kosher salt, paprika, and 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Pat chicken dry and rub the mixture all over. Place a 3-to 4-quart Dutch oven or saucepan over medium heat and add oil. When it smokes, add chicken, skin side down, and cook until well browned, about 3 minutes. Flip and repeat on second side.

Transfer chicken to a plate and drain off all but 1 tablespoon of the drippings. Return to stove on medium heat, add onions, and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook until golden and softened, about 3 minutes.

Add potatoes and broth and scrape the pan to incorporate any browned bits. Add chicken, bring to a boil, and then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook until chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes. Remove chicken to a plate and cover.

Bring sauce to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until slightly reduced, about 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning, as desired. Add chicken, turn to moisten in sauce, and serve.

    It was good. Chicken was very moist and potato's were good. I did however get the measurments for seasoning mixed, so it could have had more paprika bu otherwise good.

    Made this last night (but saw the recipe months ago and wanted to try it and it was completely worth the wait. SO GOOD! Next time I might use a little less salt as others have mentioned, but it was still amazing! Thanks Aida!

    I have to wonder if the amount of salt listed is a mistake. Too salty, and I wish I would have read the other reviews first as I see that is already noted. My bad!
