Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) for a perfectly braised Dutch oven chicken.
  2. Season the bone-in skin-on chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper, then let them rest.
  3. In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and sear the chicken thighs skin-side down for 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Remove the chicken and sauté chopped potatoes, carrots, and onion in the same pot for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
  5. Stir in minced garlic, dried thyme, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper; cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  6. Pour in chicken broth and dry white wine, scraping up any browned bits. Return chicken thighs skin-side up into the pot.
  7. Cover the Dutch oven and bake for about 1 hour or until the chicken is tender and juices run clear.
  8. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving warm, spooning the vegetables and broth over the chicken.
