Directions
Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 7 -Dredge the chicken thighs in the flour mixture, then transfer them into the hot Dutch oven.

Step 9 -Transfer the chicken thighs to a plate.
Step 10 -Add the oil and the shallots to the Dutch oven and sauté until softened, fragrant, and golden-brown, about 5-10 minutes.

Step 13 -Add the chicken thighs and the bacon pieces to the sauce mixture.
Step 14 -Bake the chicken thighs, while basting them with the sauce every 10-15 minutes, until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F and the skin is crispy, about 40 minutes.
Step 15 -Skim the oil off the top of the sauce.
