Oven-baked Hatch Chile Salsa Verde Honey Chicken Thighs
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat up a bit of oil in an oven safe pan – a dutch oven works well – over medium high heat and sear the chicken thighs, undisturbed, until golden brown 5-8 minutes. Remove from the pan.

  2. There should be quite a bit of rendered fat in the pan, but if it’s dry, add a bit of oil. Cook the onion, stirring, until soft but not brown. Stir in the salsa verde and chicken stock. Nestle in the chicken thighs and place in the oven, uncovered. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

  3. Remove and drizzle with honey. Finish with avocado (if using), lime wedges, and plenty of cilantro.
