Ingredients

4 Pcs.
Israeli Olive oil
2 Tbsp
Dead sea Salt & pepper
to taste
Onion
1/2 Pcs.
Chicken broth
1 quart
Fresh dill
6-8 sprigs
Ground turmeric
1 Tsp
Pinch cayenne pepper
Lemon juice
2 Tbsp
Instructions
Step 1
Heat olive oil in a saute pan on high until it smokes. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Sear the chicken thighs in a pan until they are golden brown. Reduce heat to medium and remove the chicken thighs from the pan. Set aside.
Step 3
Cook the sliced onions over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they are translucent and soft. Once they start to turn golden, drain any excess fat from the pan.
Step 4
Return the chicken thighs back to the pan, this time with the skin side up. Pour chicken broth in until it covers the bottom of the pot and comes up half-way on the thighs.
Step 5
Sprinkle the dill over the thighs, then add a pinch of turmeric and cayenne pepper. Bring the broth to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium.
Step 6
Reduce heat to medium low and cover the pan. Let the thighs cook until they are extremely tender, basting them with the cooking liquid every 10 minutes or so.
Step 7
Remove thighs from pan. Add lemon juice to the sauce to give it a bit of flavor. You can add more or less to taste, and also add salt and pepper if desired.
