Confit chicken thigh with white beans and fried onion. The more we learn about food the more often we see variation on a theme. Such is the case of this chicken thigh confit. It is based on a recipe that was used for smoked chicken thigh confit. The original recipe works very well. But this version is so down right tasty, I don’t even bother to smoke the thighs. I am fan of serving boneless confit. The thighs were cooked and chilled according to traditional practices. When ready for service, I removed the bone, heated the confit and crisped the skin. I am not sure if I like the garnish of lightly fried onions better than shoestring potatoes cooked in confit fat. They are both very nice. The onion is a little lighter. But then again, I fried the onion in canola oil and not confit fat. I think next time for “experimentation purposes only”, I will fry them in confit fat and see if that makes the difference!
