Creating the delicious Curried Chicken Thighs is easy when following these simple steps:
1. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
2. Brown Chicken: Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Place them in the skillet, skin side down, and cook for 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
3. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.
4. Add Spices: Stir in the curry powder, turmeric, and cumin. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Pour in Coconut Milk: Add the coconut milk and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
6. Return Chicken: Place the browned chicken thighs back into the skillet, skin side up. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
7. Cook Chicken: Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it cook for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
8. Taste and Adjust: Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
