How can you achieve complex flavors in a short cooking time?

This recipe's secret starts with cooking the chicken correctly. To get smoky and charred chicken thighs, you must cook them in a smoking hot skillet, skin side down first. This melts down the chicken fats and crisps up the skin. This method also preserves the moisture insides of the meat, making it tender and juicy. Then, we cook the onions and garlic in the rendered chicken fat then deglaze everything with chicken stock, making sure to scrape the golden bits off the bottom of the skillet. Finally, we add the asiago cheese and return the chicken to the skillet to thoroughly cook in this delicious broth. We assure you, this is going to be one of your go-to Keto new year's recipes.
