Customization & Variations
Feel free to use chicken thighs with or without the skin, depending on your preference for richness and texture. For the cooking fat, olive oil or coconut oil both work wonderfully. If you don't have dairy-free butter for the sauce, ghee or another oil can be used in its place. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes for more or less heat, or add more fresh ground pepper to taste.
This hearty chicken dish stands alone as a complete, comforting meal. For an added touch of freshness, garnish generously with fresh parsley just before serving.
