Instructions
1
Prep
Pat the chicken thighs dry, season both sides with salt and pepper, cut potato into wedges, and slice the garlic.
2
Sear
Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat and lay chicken skin-side down; sear 6 minutes until skin is deep golden and releases cleanly.
3
Grill
Flip thighs and transfer skillet to a hot grill or grill pan over medium heat, cooking 12 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165F and juices run clear.
4
Fry
In a shallow pan with thin oil over medium heat, cook potato wedges 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and fork-tender.
5
Rest
Move chicken to a plate and rest 8 minutes so juices settle back into the meat.
6
Saute
In the same skillet over medium-low heat, saute garlic 1 minute until pale gold, then add sherry and deglaze, scraping browned bits.
7
Simmer
Add chicken stock, smoked paprika and bay leaf; simmer 6 minutes over medium heat until sauce reduces by half and coats a spoon.
8
Plate
Stir lemon juice and parsley into sauce, discard bay leaf, set chicken and potatoes on plate, spoon sauce over chicken and serve.
