Feels Fancy Figgy Chicken Recipe
Feels Fancy Figgy Chicken is my new go-to dish when I need to make something on the quick, but I want it to feel a little fancy. Sweet caramelized shallots, sticky dried figs, fresh thyme, and bourbon vanilla - it FEELS fancy! But it's really just a simple chicken dish you can whip up anytime.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 6 Bone-In Skin-On Chicken Thigh
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 2 Shallot very thinly sliced
- 1 cup Dry White Wine
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Heat the oil in a large oven-safe skillet. Sprinkle the chicken skin with salt and pepper and place the thighs skin-side down in the skillet.
- Cook for 10 minutes over medium high heat, or until the skin is crisp and turn, cooking skin-side up for another 2 mins. Remove the chicken from the pan.
- Add the shallots to the pan and reduce the heat. Cook for 1-2 minutes until translucent.
- Add the wine and balsamic vinegar and stir. Bring the liquid to a simmer.
- Stir in the chopped dried figs, the sprigs of thyme, and the chicken broth, simmer, and then stir in the Nielsen-Massey Madagascar Bourbon Pure vanilla Extract.
