Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot, heat oil over high. Season chicken with salt and pepper and add to pot, skin side down. Cook until skin is browned and crisp, about 8 minutes. Flip and cook 2 minutes more. Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.

Steps:
- Blot chicken thighs with paper towels and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Melt butter with olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Place chicken thighs in the hot oil and cook until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Remove chicken from the skillet and keep warm.
- Add carrots, onion, and minced garlic to the same skillet, stirring to coat with pan drippings. Season with salt and pepper and cook for about 2 minutes. Nestle browned chicken thighs into the vegetables, pour wine and 2 tablespoons water over everything, and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until carrots are fork-tender and chicken juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken and vegetables from the skillet with a slotted spoon.
- Combine cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl, stirring to dissolve any lumps. Add slurry to the drippings in the skillet and bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes.

Steps:
- Cut the chicken into 10 pieces: 2 legs, 2 thighs, 2 wings, and the 2 breasts halved crosswise. Season the chicken pieces all over with salt and pepper.
- Trim both ends of the onions. Bring a saucepan of water to a boil over high heat. Add the onions and blanch for about 1 1/2 minutes, then drain and shock in ice water. Peel the onions; the skins should slip off easily.
- Cut the carrots in half lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1 1/2-inch chunks.
- Choose a heavy pot wide enough to hold the chicken pieces snugly in a single layer. Heat the pot over high heat. Add the olive oil, then add the chicken, skin side down. Brown well, then turn with tongs and brown the other side, about 5 minutes total. Set the chicken aside on a platter.
- Add the onions, carrots, thyme, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Sauté, stirring often, until the vegetables begin to caramelize, about 10 minutes. Add the vinegar and use a wooden spoon to release any residue stuck to the bottom of the pot. Simmer for about 1 minute to evaporate the vinegar, then return the chicken to the pot, skin side up. Add the stock. Bring to a simmer, cover, and adjust the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook until the leg meat begins to pull away from the bone and the white meat is no longer pink at the bone, about 20 minutes.
- Transfer the chicken to a platter with tongs. If the pan juices are too thin, raise the heat to high and reduce to a pleasing sauce consistency. Taste and adjust the seasoning; the sauce may need a touch more vinegar. Spoon the vegetables and sauce over the chicken and garnish with the parsley. Serve immediately.
- Enjoy with Cakebread Cellars Napa Valley Chardonnay or another medium- to full-bodied white wine.

Steps:

- Drain half of the fat from the pan and then place it back over the heat. Add the sausage to the pan, breaking it up as you add it. Brown for 1 to 2 minutes while continuing to break it up with the back of a spoon.

Season with salt and pepper and then add the tomatoes, chicken stock and oregano, scraping the bottom of the pan for brown bits.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Cut backbone from chicken using kitchen shears and save backbone for another use. Flip chicken, breast-side up, and forcefully press chicken down to flatten; season generously with salt.
- Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe cast iron skillet over medium-high heat; pan-fry chicken, skin-side down, until golden, 6 to 7 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate, skin-side up.
- Cook and stir onion in oil in the same skillet until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add beer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Continue cooking until most of the beer is reduced, 2 to 4 minutes more. Stir chicken broth, carrots, lemon, rosemary, and thyme into beer mixture. Arrange chicken, skin-side up, over vegetables.
- Roast in the preheated oven until chicken is golden brown and crispy, about 50 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken and vegetables to a large platter and let rest, uncovered.
- Bring remaining broth and juices in the skillet to a boil and cook until sauce is thickened, about 10 minutes. Season sauce with salt.

Tips:
- Choose the best chicken: Use a whole chicken or chicken pieces like thighs or breasts. For a more flavorful dish, choose a free-range or organic chicken.
- Prep the chicken: Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper, and if desired, add a rub of your favorite herbs and spices. Pat the chicken dry before browning to help it crisp up.
- Sear the chicken: Sear the chicken in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until golden brown on all sides. This step helps to lock in the chicken's juices and develop flavor.
- Add the vegetables: Once the chicken is browned, add the chopped red onion, carrots, and garlic to the pot. Sauté until the vegetables are softened and lightly browned.
- Add the liquids: Pour in the chicken broth, white wine, and honey. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
- Thicken the sauce: If desired, thicken the sauce by making a slurry of cornstarch and water. Stir the slurry into the simmering liquid and cook until thickened.
- Serve: Serve the braised chicken with rice, mashed potatoes, or your favorite sides.
