Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to fry thighs in a frying pan? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Hips can be taken with or without bones. Take medium-sized peppers and tomatoes, large onions. Tomato can be replaced with ketchup, tomatoes in their own juice or tomato paste. Choose proportions to suit your taste. If you use vegetables of different colors, like I did, the result will be a more colorful dish.

Step 2

Step 2
Rinse the chicken under running water. Skin and bone the thighs so they can be used in another dish, such as making broth. Dry the resulting pieces with a paper towel to remove moisture and reduce splattering when frying.

Step 3

Step 3
Rub the thighs with salt and spices. If you use ready-made spice mixtures, be sure to read the ingredients on the package. Often such mixtures already contain salt, take this into account, otherwise you risk oversalting the dish. Leave to marinate at room temperature for 15-30 minutes.

Step 4

Step 4
Peel the onion, rinse and cut into thin half rings. My bulbs are small, so I took 2 pieces. To avoid irritating the mucous membranes of your eyes when cutting onions, rinse the onion and knife with cold water. The cutting board will not absorb the unpleasant onion smell if you rub it with a slice of lemon before cutting.

Step 5

Step 5
Wash the bell pepper, remove the stem, cut it, remove seeds and cut into large pieces. Wash the tomato, remove the stem and cut into small random pieces. Peel and chop the garlic by passing through a garlic press or grating on a fine grater.

Step 6

Step 6
Take a frying pan with a diameter of about 22 cm. Heat the frying pan with oil over medium heat and add all the chicken pieces. Increase the heat and fry the thighs on one side until golden brown.

Step 7

Step 7
Then flip the thighs, lower the heat and cook the chicken on the other side for 10-15 minutes.

Step 8

Step 8
This method of frying will make the chicken thighs juicy. When the chicken is browned on the other side, remove it from the pan. In the same oil, fry the onion over medium heat, stirring occasionally. There is no need to turn it golden; it should become soft and glassy. Add a little salt.

Step 9

Step 9
Then add pepper and chicken to the onion and stir. Simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 10

Step 10
Place the tomato and garlic in the pan. Stir and leave for another 3 minutes.

Step 11

Step 11
Finally, add the olives, stir, cover and leave on low heat for 5 minutes. Olives can be cut in half lengthwise or crosswise into rings. I like to add them whole, so I didnʼt cut them.
