Ever have one of those days you feel like crud and all you want is a satisfying home-cooked meal to enjoy in a therapeutic kind of way? Sometimes my mind starts thinking about certain types of comfort food that may feel good eating at the time but the next day has me feeling all sorts of shades of regret. Instead, I am cooking up dishes that hit the spot of neediness in my soul to feed myself well so I can feel better later and this recipe is on repeat from last week, except I mixed in some leftover brown rice to the lemon, artichoke, bean mixture -it was so good.
I’ve always preferred chicken thighs over breast meat because of its flavor and tenderness. As much as I love fried chicken, sometimes I want to find a middle ground of preparation that will offer me depths of flavor and texture. This is why I love this recipe for Crispy Chicken Thighs with Lemon, Artichokes, and Beans. The skin-on thighs are fried first then baked in the oven to finish them off. I like the crispy skin and make no apologies about it. The other ingredients such as lemon, artichokes, broth, wine, and beans are like good friends who come to you in your time of need to support you by being complimentary. This dish is comfort food that is thoughtful, flavorful, and deep in your belly good. Unlike that whole pint of ice cream I ate to myself last night because I’m sick and absolutely feel crappy today for doing so. Just keeping it real for you, folks.
But do make this recipe. It’s a keeper and deserves a place in your autumn cooking rotation. Enjoy.

A few individuals don’t comprehend why you ought to need to burn through cash on training camp when you can get the MCSA study materials yourself at a small amount of the camp cost.
This looks amazing. Added to my list of dishes to make.
i sometimes find chicken a little dry, i can never get that perfect touch. but adding lemon always gives it that lovely extra taste. or hot sauce.
Thanks for sharing.

With my busy schedule, I rarely have time to cook for myself and my kids.We’ve been dining in with restaurants here in Hong Kong just to give my sons craving, and they are inlove with Stockton bar, but I want to cook for them. And when I saw this one, I thought to myself: I’d definitely find time to cook this.This is a very nice recipe and fits perfectly since my kids love chicken. Thanks for this, keep it up!
You had me at Crispy Chicken Thighs. All the rest is a bonus.
Thank you Mary Frances!
Absolutely beautiful, both the flavors you used and your presentation!
that looks delicious. Do you thin subbing diced potatoes for the beans would hold up? I am not a bean eater.
This is stunning! Love your presentation as well as all the gorgeous ingredients you used!
Wow! Crispy Chicken is very tasty .
On the first cold day of the year where I live, this looks fantastic. It actually reminds me of a Morroccan chicken dish I had once with preserved lemon.
Hope you feel better! 🙂
this is helpful.
This looks absolutely amazing and it’s definitely comfort on a plate.
