  • You'll want browned and crisped chicken thighs tops.
  • Be real careful not to burn your oil tho.
  • Remove chicken thighs from skillet with tongs and set to the side on a raised rack sprayed with Pam.
  • Do not discard olive oil and chicken fat in skillet.
  • Unless, there's an over abundance it because of the excess chicken fat.
  • If so, just pour out an adequate amount.
  • You'll only want enough oil and fat to evenly coat your spuds.
  • Use as little oil as you possibly have to.

  • If soaking spuds and onions prior to baking to keep them from browning, [as pictured] drain them and pat them completely dry.

  • Mix vegetables, wine, seasonings, fats and oils together well.
  • Seal skillet well with tinfoil.
  • Place chicken thighs and potatoes in oven.
  • Bake in a 350 oven for 45 minutes.
  • At 45 minutes, carefully stir potatoes with spatula, check for doneness and bake spuds for 15 more minutes uncovered.

  • Also, taste test your potatoes and decide if you'd like more sea salt added.
