Critical Success Points

  • Searing the chicken without crowding the pot to develop flavor.
  • Maintaining a gentle simmer during the covered cooking phases.
  • Final reduction – watch the glaze closely to avoid burning.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the hot Dutch oven with oven mitts to avoid burns.
  • Be careful when searing – hot oil can splatter.
  • Do not leave the simmering pot unattended; liquid can evaporate quickly.
