Sweet & Sour Rhubarb Chicken
- 8 pieces Bone-In, Skin-On Chicken Thighs
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 whole Shallots, Finely Chopped
- 2 Tablespoons Fresh Ginger, Finely Chopped
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cardamom
- 1/2 cups Dry Sherry
- 1 cup Low Sodium Chicken Stock
- 1/4 cups Honey
- 1/4 cups Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice
- 1 pound Rhubarb Stalks, Medium Dice
- Salt And Pepper, to taste
- Preheat your oven to 375 F.
- Rinse off your chicken thighs and pat them dry with a few paper towels.
- Season them generously with salt and pepper.
- Put a large heavy bottomed (oven safe) pot over medium high heat and add the olive oil.
- Once the oil is shimmering add half of the chicken thighs, skin side down.
- Leave them alone for about 5 minutes so that the skin gets nice and crispy.
- Flip em over and brown on the other side.
- Once that side is nicely browned, transfer to a clean plate and set aside.
- Do the same thing with the other half of the chicken.
- When the remaining chicken is done, transfer to the plate with the rest of the chicken and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium and discard half of the oil in the pan.
- Throw in the shallots, ginger and cardamom, season with salt and pepper, and saute for about 2 minutes.
- Add the cooking sherry and scrape the bottom of the pot to loosen up those tasty little brown bits at the bottom of the pan.
- Reduce the liquid by half, cooking for about 5 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken stock, honey and orange juice and give it a good stir.
- Transfer chicken back to the pot, skin side up, and bring liquid up to a boil.
- Pop the pot in the oven, uncovered, and cook for 35 minutes.
- After the first 35 minutes, remove pot from oven and scatter the rhubarb chunks around the chicken.
- Cook for an additional 15 minutes.
