Instructions
 
  • Add the chicken pieces to a mixing bowl and coat them with kosher salt and black pepper.
  • Warm the oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chicken skin side down and sear for 3 minutes. Flip and sear for another 3 minutes. Set the chicken aside.
  • Add onions to the same pot and cook for 10 minutes until the onions become translucent and soften. Then, add garlic and cook for another minute.

  • Deglaze with water and nestle the chicken into the pot. Add the potatoes, bay leaves, and cilantro.

Notes
Expert Tips:
  • Sear the chicken to lock in moisture and build flavor for the broth.
  • Cut the vegetables the same size to ensure they cook at the same rate.
  • Deglaze the pan with water and Better Than Bouillon or chicken broth, scraping up any seared bits at the bottom.
