GARLICKY CHICKEN THIGHS WITH SCALLIONS AND LIME

Steps:

• 1. Season chicken with salt and pepper on both sides. 2. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or large, high-sided skillet over medium heat. 3. Add chicken, skin-side down and cook, undisturbed, until chicken is crisped and the fat has begun to render, 8 to 10 minutes. Using tongs, carefully flip chicken skin-side up. Cook until golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes. 4. Meanwhile, thinly slice two scallions; set aside. 5. Add both halves of the head of garlic, cut side down, and remaining whole scallions to the pot and season with salt and pepper, tossing to coat in the chicken fat. Cook until scallions are lightly blistered and browned, about 3 minutes. Add grated garlic and stir a minute or two, but do not brown. 6. Add lime juice, soy sauce and 1 cup of water. Bring to a simmer and partly cover. Cook until chicken is completely tender and nearly falling apart on the underside and liquid is reduced by three-quarters, 15 to 20 minutes. 7. Remove chicken thighs, garlic head and scallions and set aside. Continue to reduce sauce down (if needed) until it has become a thick glaze. 8. Once sauce is reduced down to your liking, pour back over chicken thighs and scallions. Garlic cloves can be squeezed from bulb and served on side as a tasty addition.
