Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs (about 1 1/4 pounds)
4 chicken drumsticks (about 1 pound)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 red onions, peeled and quartered through the stem
2 plum tomatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
6 sprigs thyme
3/4 cup Marsala (sweet Italian fortified wine)
1 1/4 cups chicken stock, homemade or low-sodium store-bought
Sage Polenta

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Rinse chicken, pat dry with paper towels, and season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large, high-sided sauté pan over medium-high. Working in batches, brown chicken on both sides, turning once, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer chicken to a platter; tent loosely with parchment paper, then foil, to keep warm. After all chicken is browned, pour off excess fat.
  • Add onions, tomatoes, and thyme to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Pour in Marsala; cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Return chicken to pan and pour in stock; bring to a simmer. Transfer to oven; cook until chicken is cooked through and tender, about 35 minutes. Transfer chicken to a platter, and cover to keep warm.
  • Skim off excess fat from liquid in pan; simmer liquid over medium-high until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. To serve, divide polenta among shallow bowls and arrange chicken on top; spoon pan sauce over each.
