CITRUS CHICKEN THIGHS RECIPES

Steps:

• Place 4 skinless, boneless chicken thighs on a cutting board and pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle all over with 1 Tbsp. Diamond Crystal or 1¾ tsp. Morton kosher salt and 2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper, pressing gently to adhere. Using a Microplane, finely grate zest from 1 lemon and 2 limes over both sides of chicken, pressing again to adhere.
• Cut lemon and limes in half and squeeze juice through your hand or a sieve to catch the seeds into a small bowl; set aside. You should have about ½ cup juice total.
• Heat 1 Tbsp. plus 1½ tsp. vegetable oil in a large skillet set over medium-high. Arrange chicken in pan and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 4–5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate.
• Add citrus juice to same skillet and cook, scraping up any brown bits stuck to bottom of pan with a wooden spoon, until slightly reduced, about 30 seconds. Pour over chicken. Serve with Trini Stewed Eggplant.

Steps:

• Sprinkle salt and pepper over chicken. Cook 4 chicken thighs in 1 Tbsp. hot oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat 6 minutes on each side. Remove chicken; wipe Dutch oven clean. Repeat with remaining 1 Tbsp. oil and 4 chicken thighs. Reserve 1 Tbsp. drippings in Dutch oven.
• Reduce heat to medium; add carrots, and cook, stirring occasionally, 2 minutes. Add onions, and cook, stirring occasionally, 5 to 7 minutes or until tender. Add garlic, and cook, stirring occasionally, 1 minute. Stir in orange juice, lemon juice, and cumin. Increase heat to high, and bring to a boil.
• Add chicken and olives. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer 35 to 40 minutes or until meat pulls away from bone. Just before serving, stir in parsley, and add salt and pepper to taste.
