- 1 ½ tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil

- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- ¾ cup dry white wine

Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Pat the chicken pieces thoroughly dry with paper towels, then season all over with the salt and pepper.

Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken pieces skin-side down in a single layer — work in two batches if needed to avoid crowding — and sear undisturbed for 5 to 6 minutes, until the skin is deep golden and releases easily from the pot. Flip and sear the second side for 3 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
