Ingredients

2 tablespoon - olive oil
4 - chicken drumsticks
4 - chicken thighs
½ cup - shallots
3 cloves - garlic
½ cup - chicken broth
1 cup - white wine
¼ cup - whole-grain mustard
3 tablespoon - creme fraiche
2 tablespoon - tarragon
salt
black pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375F.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then add it to the skillet. Brown it evenly on all sides for about 15 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Add the shallots to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
Add the chicken broth, mustard, and wine and bring to a boil. Return the chicken with all the juices to the pan, cover with a well-fitted lid, and transfer to the hot oven.
Bake for about 45 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of at least 165°F in the thickest part, away from the bone.
Transfer the chicken to a serving platter and cover to keep warm. Return the pan to the stove top, add half of the chopped tarragon and the crème fraiche, and simmer until the mixture thickens.
Spoon sauce over chicken and garnish with the remaining tarragon.
