Ingredients

1 chicken, 3 1/2 pounds, cut into serving pieces
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
12 small white onions, about 1/2 pound, peeled
2 bay leaves
2 sprigs fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup chicken broth
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon acacia honey or any other honey

Steps:

Sprinkle chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
Heat oil and butter in a heavy skillet large enough to hold chicken pieces in one layer. Add chicken skin-side down and cook until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Do not cover.
Drain off fat and add shallots and onions. Stir and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes until onions are light brown. Add bay leaves and thyme. Stir, add wine, cream, chicken broth, lemon juice and honey. Bring to a boil, stir and scrape the bottom of skillet.
Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes or until chicken is done. Remove cover and cook for 5 more minutes to reduce the sauce.
Remove bay leaves and thyme sprigs before serving. Serve hot.
