Brisket-Braised Chicken

Step 1

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large Dutch oven over medium until shimmering. Sprinkle chicken with 1 tablespoon salt and pepper. Working in 3 batches, arrange chicken pieces, skin sides down, in Dutch oven; cook until browned on both sides, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Set aside. Wipe pan clean; add remaining 2 tablespoons oil.

Step 2

Add onions and garlic to Dutch oven; cook over medium, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 8 minutes. Stir in tomato paste, paprika, and onion powder; cook 30 seconds. Add wine and vinegar; cook, stirring constantly and scraping up browned bits, until mixture thickens, about 1 minute.

Step 3

Stir in tomatoes, broth, honey, bay leaves, and remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Nestle chicken into mixture; bring to a boil over medium-high. Cover and reduce heat to low; simmer until chicken easily pulls away from the bone, about 50 minutes, pushing chicken down into mixture to partially submerge after 20 minutes.

Step 4

Uncover Dutch oven; increase heat to medium-low. Simmer, gently stirring occasionally, until liquid has slightly thickened, about 15 minutes. Discard bay leaves. Transfer chicken to plates; spoon sauce over chicken.
