• 1 cup dry white wine
• 1 cup low sodium chicken broth
• 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
• 2 1/2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, chopped

1. Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position; heat oven to 300 degrees.
2. Sprinkle both sides of chicken with salt.
3. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.
4. Add 4 chicken thighs, skin-side down, and cook without moving them until skin is crisp and well browned, about 5 minutes.
5. Using tongs, turn chicken pieces and brown on second side, about 5 minutes longer; transfer to large plate.
6. Add remaining 4 chicken thighs to pot and repeat, then transfer to plate and set aside.
7. Discard all but 1 tablespoon fat from pot.
8. Add onion to fat in Dutch oven and cook, stirring occasionally, over medium heat until browned, about 4 minutes.
