Notes

  2. Cream: Heavy cream or canned coconut milk are both delicious in this recipe if you can't find table cream.
  3. Cognac: Cognac is usually added to this dish, however, feel free to add brandy or even white wine instead.
  4. Store: Any leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 4 days in an airtight container.
  5. Reheat: To reheat, place the leftovers in a pan over medium heat, and add around 1/4-1/2 cup of water, depending on how much food is there. Serve when the chicken thighs are piping hot all the way through.
