Ingredients

4 servings

4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken drumsticks
1 tsp kosher salt
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp smoked paprika
2 tbsp olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 cup cherry tomatoes
½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
1 tbsp unsalted butter
Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.

For serving

2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Pat the chicken thighs and drumsticks completely dry with paper towels. Season all over with the salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
2
Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken pieces skin-side down in a single layer and sear undisturbed for 6–7 minutes, until the skin is deep golden brown and releases easily from the pan. Flip and sear the second side for 4 minutes, until lightly browned. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
