This recipe is really, really good; the chicken turned out perfectly moist and tender, and even though the chicken thighs simmered for the last 25 minutes of the recipe, the skin retained much of its crispiness from the browning. The sauce in this recipe has such depth of flavor and I love the fact it uses whole cloves of garlic. When served, they were nice and soft; I just crushed them with my fork and mixed them into the sauce. I didn't have any white wine, so used white grape juice. I agree with the other reviewer, Jan, this tasted like a gourmet dinner.

Chicken thighs with olives and basil, , This recipe is really, really good; the chicken turned out perfectly moist and tender, and even though the chicken thighs simmered for the last 25 minutes of the recipe, the skin retained much of its crispiness from the browning. The sauce in this recipe has such depth of flavor and I love the fact it uses whole cloves of garlic. When served, they were nice and soft; I just crushed them with my fork and mixed them into the sauce. I didn’t have any white wine, so used white grape juice. I agree with the other reviewer, Jan, this tasted like a gourmet dinner., Tried this recipe last night for supper…fabulous! I added capers, near the end of the main simmering stage had them on hand and needed to use them up!, and that added a nice touch. I also substituted basil paste the minced kind in a tube, found in the fruit & veg section of the refrigerated produce section of the grocery store as I had no fresh basil available. All in all, wonderful and I will definitely make it again!
