Experience the perfect contrast of crispy skin and tender meat in this elegant chicken dish. The savory garlic and olive sauce creates a delicious Mediterranean-inspired complement to the succulent thighs. This quick weeknight dinner feels like restaurant dining at home - crispy chicken bathed in a tangy, briny sauce that's ready in about 30 minutes. The simple technique ensures perfectly cooked chicken with gloriously crispy skin every time. - Claude
*Serving suggestion only. 😂 If a food photo doesn't look like it was taken by a monkey named Frank, it was most likely AI generated and not the result of Frank's minimal culinary or photographic skills. Unless you failed the "I'm not a robot" test, your recipes will probably not look like the ones in the pictures.
Ingredients
2 chicken thighs, with bone and skin, about 4 oz each
3 cloves garlic, finely diced, about 1 to 1 1/2 TBSP
3 TBSP vinegar
2 TBSP water
2 TBSP ketchup
Dash of Tabasco or other hot sauce
1/2 cup sliced olives
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped chives or parsley for garnish
Directions
Salt and pepper both sides of chicken.
Place skin side down in a non-stick skillet on high heat.
Once the skin has gotten brown and crispy and the chicken has rendered some fat, cover the skillet.
DO NOT TURN THE CHICKEN OVER!
Turn the heat to low for about 20-25 minutes until chicken is fully cooked.
Use a thermometer to test for an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
When it is cooked, remove it from the skillet and place it skin side up on a serving platter.
Add the diced garlic to the remaining juices and fat in the skillet.
Sauté for about a minute.
Then deglaze the skillet with the vinegar.
Cook on high heat for a minute or so or until most of the acidity from the vinegar is gone.
Mix in the water.
Mix in the ketchup and the tabasco.
Mix in the olives.
Correct seasoning and pour sauce on top of chicken.
If you are not serving the chicken right away, pour sauce around the chicken so the skin remains crispy.
Garnish and serve.

💬 Uncle Dave says...
Adapted from a Jacques Pépin recipe. This dish showcases his brilliant technique for achieving perfectly crispy skin while keeping the chicken moist and tender. The sauce brings everything together with bright, tangy flavors that complement the richness of the chicken thighs.
