Poultry


2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 onion, diced

4 stalks celery, diced

4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

2 cups chopped fresh tomato

1/2 cup vermouth

2 quarts chicken broth

1 tablespoon fresh thyme

2 cups roasted red peppers, julienned

1 roasted pasilla pepper

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large Dutch oven over high heat. Add the chicken a few pieces at a time and brown on all sides. As they brown, sprinkle with salt and pepper and transfer to a platter.


Add the onions to the pot and cook over medium heat to soften. Add the celery and garlic and cook until they turn a rich brown, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring, for 3 more minutes. Deglaze with vermouth, then add the chicken broth and thyme. Return the chicken to the pot and bring to a simmer. Lower the heat, then cover and simmer for 45 minutes. Add the roasted peppers and pasilla, then cover and cook until the chicken is fork-tender and the thigh bones are loose, an additional 30 minutes.
