Herb-Roasted Chicken Thighs with Cherry Compote

Ingredients:

• 4 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 shallot, finely chopped
• 1 cup fresh cherries, pitted (or thawed frozen cherries)
• 1/4 cup light red wine (preferably a light Burgundy Pinot Noir)
• 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 1 tsp honey (optional)
• Fresh thyme leaves, for garnish

Instructions:

1. Season the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper.
2. Heat the olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs, skin-side down, for about 5–6 minutes until the skin is crisp and golden. Flip and sear the other side for 3 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the chopped shallot and sauté until softened, about 2 minutes.
4. Add the cherries, red wine, balsamic vinegar, and honey (if using). Let the mixture simmer for 5–7 minutes until the cherries soften and the sauce reduces to a compote-like consistency.
5. Return the chicken thighs to the skillet and spoon some of the cherry compote over them, allowing the flavors to meld on low heat for a few minutes.
6. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves and serve immediately.
7. Enjoy with a glass of Domaine Pavelot Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru 'Dominodes' 1.5L MAGNUM 2022 for a harmonious, terroir-driven pairing.
