Cast Iron Chicken Thighs with No-Dairy Vodka Sauce
May 01, 2024
With only seven ingredients, this cast iron chicken thigh recipe is perfect for a weeknight when you’re short on time. It’s also delicious and elegant enough to serve at your next dinner party. This is a recipe you’ll return to over and over again!
You don’t have to make this dish in a cast iron skillet, but if you have one, we recommend that you use it. Cast iron conducts heat evenly and can transfer directly from the stove to the oven (fewer dishes to wash!). When you brown the chicken on the stovetop first, as you do in this recipe, you seal in the juices and add a ton of flavor. Topping it with No-Dairy Vodka Sauce and finishing it in the oven is the pièce de résistance.
If you don’t have an oven-safe skillet, simply brown the chicken on the stove, then transfer it to a baking dish before moving it to the oven. Serve this chicken dinner with cooked cauliflower rice, zoodles, or steamed or roasted vegetables.

Ingredients
2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, or a mix of thighs and drumsticks
-
2 tablespoons Primal Kitchen Avocado Oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 10 cloves garlic, skins removed
-
1 jar Primal Kitchen No-Dairy Vodka Sauce
- 10 sprigs fresh thyme
Directions
- Preheat oven to 475ºF.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet on the stove over medium-high heat. Add avocado oil to the skillet.
Place chicken in the skillet skin side down. Allow to cook, undisturbed, for 5 minutes on one side or until the skin is lightly bronzed. Turn over to brown on the other side for another 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then turn chicken pieces over and season the other side with salt and pepper as well.
- Turn stove off and pour in the entire jar of No-Dairy Vodka Sauce. Add peeled garlic cloves to the skillet, and place sprigs of thyme on top of the chicken pieces.
- Use a hot pad to grasp the skillet by the handle. Put the skillet in the middle oven rack. Cook chicken for 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken pieces reaches 165ºF, and the juices run clear.
- Remove the skillet from the oven with a hot pad. Serve chicken with the roasted garlic and extra sauce from the skillet.
