Crispy Chicken Thighs in Agrodolce
Chicken agrodolce is an easy, forgiving one-pan recipe that strikes the perfect balance between sweet and tangy. Bone-in chicken thighs are pan roasted until tender and juicy with crisp, golden skin, then a quick, flavorful agrodolce sauce comes together right in the same skillet. It’s a simple weeknight dinner that tastes restaurant-worthy, and it can be on your table in 45 minutes or less!

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Pat the chicken dry, then season on both sides with salt and pepper.
2
Add the olive oil to a cold cast iron pan or oven-proof skillet, then arrange the chicken thighs skin side down. Turn the heat to medium, then cook, undisturbed, for about ⏱️ 8-10 minutes until the skin turns golden brown and the thighs easily release from the pan.

3
Turn the chicken over, then transfer the pan to the oven and roast until the skin is a few shades darker, looks crisp and the chicken is fully cooked through, about ⏱️ 10-15 minutes depending on size (an instant-read thermometer should read 165°F in the thickest part of the thigh). Transfer the chicken to a plate, leaving the fat behind, and let rest while you make the sauce.
4
Add the sliced shallot and garlic to the pan and saute over medium-low heat for ⏱️ 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
5
Add the raisins, vinegar and chicken stock, then season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens slightly, about ⏱️ 3-4 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
6
Nestle the chicken back in the pan and let it warm up for a minute or two.
7
Serve over a bed of arugula or greens with the sauce spooned all around and plenty of crusty bread on the side to mop up every last bit.
