👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
2
Heat olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken pieces on all sides until golden brown. Remove chicken and set aside.
💡 전문가 팁: Searing the chicken adds flavor and color to the dish.
3
Add the sliced red onions to the pot and sauté until softened and lightly caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
💡 전문가 팁: Low and slow cooking of onions will bring out their sweetness.
4
Return the chicken to the pot. Add the dried plums, chicken broth, red pepper flakes, and bay leaf. Stir to combine.
💡 전문가 팁: Ensure the plums are evenly distributed.
5
Bring the liquid to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it cook for 45-50 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
💡 전문가 팁: Check the chicken for doneness; it should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
6
Remove the bay leaf. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. The sauce should have thickened slightly.
💡 전문가 팁: If the sauce is too thin, you can simmer it uncovered for a few extra minutes to reduce.
7
Serve the chicken with plums hot, spooning the sauce over the chicken. It is traditionally served with cooked rice.
💡 전문가 팁: This dish pairs well with a simple side salad.

💡 전문가 팁

✓If dried plums are very hard, soak them in warm water for 15-20 minutes before adding them to the pot.
✓For a richer sauce, you can add a tablespoon of honey or a splash of balsamic vinegar towards the end of cooking.
✓Consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warmer spice profile.
