Georgian Chicken with Sour Cherry Sauce
Juicy Chicken in Georgian Sour Cherry Reduction (Chakhokhbili-Inspired)
Ingredients:
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup sour cherries (fresh or frozen, pitted)
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/4 cup fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions:
Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken skin-side down until golden, about 5–6 minutes. Flip and cook another 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, reduce heat to medium. Add onions and sauté until soft and golden, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, coriander, paprika, and cinnamon; stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add sour cherries, chicken broth, honey, and red wine vinegar. Bring to a simmer.
Return chicken to the pan. Cover and simmer over low heat for 20–25 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Remove lid and simmer uncovered for 5 more minutes to thicken the sauce slightly.
Serve warm, spooning the cherry sauce over the chicken. Garnish with fresh herbs.
