EASY OVEN-BRAISED CHICKEN THIGHS
This recipe is exceedingly simple, although not particularly fast. It's a winner every time, even with my fussy daughter. I prefer to use dark meat with this recipe as it breaks down better when braising. Goes well with scalloped potatoes.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Pat chicken dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Working in batches, place in the hot skillet, skin-side down. Cook until well browned but be sure not to burn, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook on the bottom side for 1 minute. Transfer to a 9x13-inch baking dish, skin-side up.
- Combine boiling water, garlic powder, and bouillon in a small bowl. Pour into the baking dish around (not over) the chicken until it comes about 1/3 of the way up the sides of the chicken; do not cover the chicken.
- Cover and bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 60 to 75 minutes, uncovering and broiling for the last 5 minutes if possible. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Remove from the pan and let sit for at least 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
