Chicken thighs in a frying pan

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to fry thighs in a frying pan? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. The hips can be taken both on the bone and without it. Take medium-sized peppers and tomatoes, and a large onion. Tomatoes can be replaced with ketchup, tomatoes in their own juice or tomato paste. Choose the proportions to your taste. If you use vegetables of different colors, like mine, you will get a brighter dish.

2. Step 2:

   

   Rinse the chicken under running water. Remove the skin from the thighs and remove the bone, they can be used in another dish, for example, to make broth. Wipe the resulting pieces with a paper towel so that there is no moisture left and there are fewer splashes when frying.

3. Step 3:

   

   Rub your thighs with salt and spices. If you use ready-made spice mixes, be sure to read the composition on the package. Often, salt is already present in such mixtures, take this into account, otherwise you risk over-salting the dish. Leave to marinate at room temperature for 15-30 minutes.

4. Step 4:

   

   Peel the onion, rinse and cut into thin half rings. My bulbs are small, so I took 2 pieces. To avoid irritating the mucous membrane of the eyes when slicing onions, rinse the onion and knife with cold water. The cutting board will not absorb the unpleasant onion smell if you rub it with a piece of lemon before slicing.

5. Step 5:

   

   Wash the bell pepper, remove the stalk, cut, peel the seeds and cut into large pieces. Wash the tomato, remove the stalk and cut into small arbitrary pieces. Peel and chop the garlic by passing it through a garlic chopper or grating it on a fine grater.

6. Step 6:

   

   Take a frying pan with a diameter of about 22 cm. Heat a frying pan with oil over medium heat and lay out all the chicken pieces. Increase the heat and fry the thighs on one side until golden brown.

8. Step 7:

   

   Then turn the hips over, turn down the heat and fry the chicken on the other side for 10-15 minutes.

9. Step 8:

   

   This method of roasting will make the chicken thighs juicy. When the chicken is browned on the other side, remove it from the pan. In the same oil, fry the onion over medium heat, stirring occasionally. It is not necessary to bring it to golden, it should become soft and glassy. Add a little salt.

10. Step 9:

    

    Then add pepper and chicken to the onion, mix. Simmer for 5 minutes.

11. Step 10:

    

    Put the tomato and garlic in the pan. Stir and leave for another 3 minutes.

12. Step 11:

    

    At the end, add the olives, stir, cover and leave on low heat for 5 minutes. Olives can be cut lengthwise in half or crosswise into rings. I prefer to add them whole, so I didn't cut them.
