braised chicken thigh

It's time for another batch, and this one is a turmeric braised chicken base recipe that can be served with rice, flatbread, or broth. It's a corker.

Batch: Turmeric Braised Chicken

Skin-On Chicken Thigh

Ground Turmeric

Onion

Garlic Clove

Cumin

Paprika

Lemon

Chicken Stock

Cinnamon Stick

Coriander

Green Olive

Salt

Heat the oven to 190°C. Rub the chicken in ½ tsp turmeric and salt, then brown it in a hot frying pan for 6 mins on each side, until the fat has rendered out and it has browned a bit. Remove the chicken from the pan.

Finely slice the onions, then get these into the same pan over a medium heat. Cook for about 20 mins until softened.

Grate in the garlic and add the remaining turmeric, cumin and paprika. Cook these out for a minute.

Finely chop the preserved lemon and add to the pan, along with the chicken stock, cinnamon stick and chicken. Bring it up to a simmer. Pop in the oven and bake for 30 mins.

Finely chop most of the coriander leaves and add some to the pan, along with the olives. Adjust the seasoning.

This was good.  I made a serving for 2 and used chicken breasts as that was what I had in.  I think I probably had a generous hand with the spices but otherwise no changes.  Will definitely make again.

Loved this. Didn't have preserved lemon to hand so just grated the peel and added the juice of 1 lemon instead. Will definitely cook again, but get some preserved Lemons in this time

Everything in this batch was delicious. Will be cooking again!

Love this recipe  same as some other comments I left it in the oven a bit longer with the lid off. Also opted out the preserved lemon. Great dish and went down well with my mum and wife.

This was absolutely brilliant. Took a bit longer because I wanted to make sure to cook the chicken through - I put it in the oven covered for 20min then uncovered for another 20min and it was divine. 
The flavours really got together, the turmeric wasn't overpowering but just right so I'll be definitely making this again. 
Had it with the rice and yoghurt last night, will have the shredded version with the flatbread tomorrow and hopefully will have enough left for the chickpea stuff too. 
Overall, it's a bug winner for sure!

Loved this recipe. It was easy to cook. I only use a kilo of chicken but still worked well. Looking forward to eating it again tomorrow!

Loved this!  Between the two of us we demolished all but two thighs in the first sitting so not much left for the other two recipes!

I found 1.5 kilos of chicken thighs to be a momentous amount and I did not have a frying pan large enough to fit them all!  The video shows 7 thighs, but mine was closer to 16.  Is there an error in the recipe?  The amount of liquid also seems not compatible with the vast amount of chicken

Have just been cooking this receipe and in the method it doesn't mention anything about chickpeas, so the name is a little misguided....first receipe of yours  that hasn't been clear and I love most of your receipes. 

Will rate it once I've tried it tonight.

What can i substitute for the preserved lemons?

This was delicious. And my 3.5 year old and 7 year old really liked it too.

Just want to check whether the pan should be opened or have a lid for the oven part of the recipe.  Also, where does the chickpeas come into play?  I just popped it in when I placed the pan in the oven.  Thanks!

Really tasty and super low effort! I followed the batch cook meal plan and all three meals were lovely. I realised I'd made a little too much and the leftovers make for a great sandwich filler too.

Excellent dish. I struggled to get 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric to cover the thighs, so I used about 1.5-2 teaspoons in total and still tasted excellent. The turmeric does not overpower even when used in excess. I did not have preserved lemon, so I chopped half a lemon, blanched it, and added that. Worked a treat

This is the first ever Mob recipe I’ve made! Honestly it tasted amazing. The olives really set it off as well. The batch lasted us for 3 different meals and we mixed it up with different sides each time (goes with rice, pasta, sweet potato)
