Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 teaspoons whole coriander seeds
3 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1 3/4 pounds)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup dry white wine
Fresh cilantro sprigs, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, toast coriander seeds until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer seeds to a mortar and pestle and lightly crush.
  • Smash two of the garlic cloves and remove peel. Peel remaining clove of garlic and finely chop. Add oil to skillet and increase heat to medium-high. Add smashed garlic and cook until pale golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Season chicken with salt and pepper and add to skillet; let brown on all sides, about 5 minutes per side.
  • Remove all but about 2 tablespoons fat from skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low. Return coriander seeds to skillet along with wine; cover and cook until chicken is cooked through, 15 to 18 minutes. During the last 5 minutes of cooking, stir in chopped garlic.
  • Transfer chicken to a serving platter. Increase heat to high and simmer liquid in skillet until thickened, 4 to 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Pour cooking liquid over chicken and serve garnished with fresh cilantro.
