Tkemali Chicken Thighs
Pan-Seared Chicken Thighs Glazed in Homemade Tkemali Sauce
Ingredients:
6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup green or red tkemali (Georgian sour plum sauce)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon coriander
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish
Lemon wedges, for serving
Directions:
Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season generously with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and coriander.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the chicken thighs skin-side down for 5–6 minutes until golden and crispy. Flip and sear the other side for 3–4 minutes.
Reduce heat to medium-low. Remove excess fat if needed, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pan.
Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the tkemali sauce and gently coat the chicken. Simmer uncovered for 12–15 minutes, occasionally spooning the sauce over the meat, until chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Garnish with fresh herbs and serve with lemon wedges and rice or roasted vegetables.
