Barbacco'S Chicken Thighs

  1. Place garlic cloves in a small saucepan along with the extra virgin olive oil. Cook over low heat until soft, stirring occasionally, about 15-20 minutes. Remove cloves and set aside, reserve the oil.
  2. Pre-heat oven to 375u0b0. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Place skillet large enough to hold all 8 thighs over medium heat; add 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  3. Place chicken thighs in skillet, skin side down and cook over medium until skin is golden brown, about 5-6 minutes. Turn thighs and cook for another 2 minutes. Reserve oil and chicken drippings in the skillet as you move the thighs to a deep baking dish large enough to hold them in a single layer; set aside.
  4. Add onion, lemon and rosemary to the now-empty skillet. Brown gently over medium-low heat, using a wooden spoon to scrape up and incorporate the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until onions are golden brown, about 12-15 minutes.
  5. Add chicken broth and white wine, and bring to a simmer. Pour over chicken thighs and place in the oven. Braise until juices run clear and chicken is done, about 40 minutes.
  6. Meanwhile, pour reserved garlicky extra virgin olive oil into the skillet. Turn heat to medium. Add escarole with salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the escarole is tender - about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Place escarole on a warm serving platter. Remove thighs from braising liquid and place on the escarole. Lightly tent with foil to keep warm.
  8. Remove rosemary and lemon wedges from braising liquid, and discard. Pour braising liquid into a sauce pot over high heat. Bring to a boil and cook until 1 1/2 cups remains. Add the reserved garlic cloves, olives and almonds. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk in the butter, then spoon the sauce over the chicken. Serve hot.
  9. Note: To pit whole olives, place them in a heavy plastic bag. Use a heavy skillet to gently crush the olives, which makes it easier to pit them.
