Ingredients

  • 5-6 medium sized chicken thighs bone in and skin on
  • ½ cup capers
  • 1 750 ml bottle dry white wine
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Heat a heavy bottomed skilled over high heat and sear the chicken thighs skin side down for 10-15 minutes. You want the chicken to be dark, dark brown

  2. Using tongs, flip the chicken and sear the other side for 10 minutes

  3. Remove the chicken from the pan and wipe out the grease that has rendered. Add the chicken back to the pan along with the capers. Pour in the wine until the chicken is almost submerged

  4. Return the pan to heat and bring the liquid to a simmer. Cover and continue to simmer for 20-30 minutes or until the chicken is very tender.

  5. Remove the braised chicken thighs from the pan and place on a serving platter. Remove the capers from the braising liquid using a slotted spoon and add them to the chicken. 

  6. Spoon some of the liquid over top of the braised chicken thighs as well and top everything with a generous handful of chopped parsley.
