Creating Spanish Chicken in Bravas Sauce is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
2. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Sear Chicken: Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the skillet. Sear until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
4. Sauté Onions and Garlic: In the same skillet, add the diced onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
5. Add Spices: Stir in the smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and cumin. Cook for an additional minute to release the spices’ flavors.
6. Incorporate Tomatoes: Add the diced tomatoes and tomato paste, stirring well to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes.
7. Add Chicken Broth: Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits.
8. Return Chicken: Place the seared chicken thighs back into the skillet, skin-side up. Bring to a simmer.
9. Cover and Cook: Reduce heat to low, cover, and let it cook for 30-35 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
10. Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove from heat. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Following these steps will ensure your Spanish Chicken in Bravas Sauce is bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked!
