A beautiful, juicy, and deeply flavourful chicken bake in white wine sauce with grapes, garlic and shallots. Chicken thighs are first pan-seared in a skillet until golden crisp, then baked in the oven with grapes, which add a sophisticated sweet and sour note. This is one of those dishes that is guaranteed to please every family member. Serve them over a bed of mashed potatoes or pasta for a satisfying weekday meal.

 
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1.2-1.6 kg Large chicken thighs, skin-on, bone-in
  • Sea salt and freshly milled black pepper
  • 3 Shallots, finely chopped
  • 4 Garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 300 ml Dry white wine (I used Chardonnay)
  • 200 ml Chicken stock
  • 1 tbsp White wine vinegar
  • 300 g Seedless white grapes, snipped into small clusters
  • Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
  • Parsley leaves, finely chopped
  1. Preheat oven to 200C/400F. In a large deep frypan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season chicken thighs all over, then cook undisturbed, in two batches, in a single layer, skin-side down, for 10 minutes until well browned all over. Remove from pan and place on a large plate.
  2. In the same pan, reduce heat to medium. Add shallots and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft. Add wine to the pan and let it bubble up rapidly, scraping the bottom of the pan to release all the crispy bits. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5-6 minutes, until half of wine is evaporated.
  3. Pour in stock and vinegar and return chicken to pan, skin-side up. Bring to the boil, then bake in oven for 30 minutes. Scatter over grapes and roast for a further 15 minutes, or until chicken thighs are cooked and juices run clear when thickest part of the thigh is pierced with a skewer, grapes have blistered and sauce has reduced. Season to taste and rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  4. Arrange chicken on a large platter and spoon over sauce and grapes. Serve sprinkled with zest and parsley.

    I make a similar dish with grapes and shallots — the shallots become a main player and their sweetness is wonderful with the chicken and grapes. This looks fantastic! David (C&L)
