Servings: persons

3 tablespoons olive oil
2 stalks celery sliced
1 yellow onion chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
8 small carrots trimmed and peeled
3 sprigs thyme
1/3 cup all purpose flour
8 bone in chicken thighs
1/2 cup cooking sherry
1/4 cup chicken stock
1/2 tablespoon dijon mustard
1 1/3 pounds new potatoes halved, or quartered if large
1 handful flat leaf parsley
crusty bread to serve

1
Preheat oven to 400u00b0F. Heat half of the oil in a Dutch oven over medium high heat. Add celery, onion, garlic, carrots and thyme and cook for 8 mins, until beginning to soften.
2
Meanwhile, spread flour on a plate and season to taste. Coat chicken thighs one at a time in flour, tapping each chicken thigh over plate to remove excess flour. Place floured chicken on clean plate.
3
Transfer vegetables to a bowl. Return pan to stovetop and heat remaining oil. Cook chicken until golden on both sides. Pour off any excess fat and transfer chicken to bowl with vegetables.
4
Deglaze pan with sherry, boiling liquid for 1 min to reduce and scraping the bottom of the pan. Add stock and stir in mustard and potatoes, then the chicken and vegetables. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Season to taste.
5
Arrange chicken pieces with the skin side up so skin crisps while cooking. Place pan in the oven and cook for 25 to 30 mins until chicken and potatoes are tender. Season to taste.
6
Spoon into serving bowls, sprinkle with parsley and serve with crusty bread.
