Instructions

  • 1Insert the wire rack into position 7. Set the oven to Bake, Convection, 350°F, for 30 minutes and press Start to preheat. Meanwhile, continue to the next step.
  • 2Pat the chicken dry with paper towel and season generously with the salt and pepper.
  • 3Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Add the oil and heat for 1 minute. Add the chicken, and sear for 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Turn and sear the other side for 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • 4Reduce the heat to medium. Add the onion and garlic to the skillet and cook, stirring for 3 minutes, or until softened. Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a simmer. Return the chicken to the skillet, nestling the pieces in the sauce.
  • 5Once preheated, place the skillet in the oven and cook for 30 minutes.
  • 6The chicken is ready when a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part, away from the bone, reads 165°F. If not, cook it a little longer.
    Tip: The size of the chicken drumsticks and thighs can alter the cooking time. For best results, using a probe, test for doneness 3-5 minutes before the end of the cook.
  • 7Transfer the chicken to a serving bowl. Drizzle with the sauce and spoon over the onion.
