Instructions
- Place the chicken thighs on a cutting board, skin side up, and pat them dry with paper towels. Sprinkle the chicken with 1 ½ tsp salt and ¾ tsp pepper.
- Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, place the chicken in the pan in one layer, skin side down. Cook over medium heat for 15 minutes without moving, until the skin is golden brown. (If the skin gets too dark, turn the heat to medium low.) Turn the chicken pieces with tongs, add the onions to the pan, including under the chicken, and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes, stirring the onions occasionally, until the thighs are cooked to 160℉ and the onions are browned. Transfer the chicken (not the onions) to a plate and allow to rest uncovered while you make the sauce.
- To make the sauce, add the wine, creme fraiche or sour cream, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, and 1 tsp salt to the skillet and stir over medium heat for one minute. Return the chicken, skin side up, and the juices to the skillet, sprinkle with parsley, and serve hot.
- Serve with arugula, sautéed zucchini noodles, or sautéed cauliflower rice.
