Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F

Make the chicken marinade by combining the granulated garlic, sugar, paprika, dry mustard, cayenne and some salt and pepper together

4

Mix well then place the chicken thighs into a resealable plastic bag and pour the dry seasoning over

5

Seal the bag and shake it around so the chicken is seasoned evenly

Transfer the chicken to a roasting pan

7

Pour over the 2 tablespoons of the chicken stock, the wine, Worcestershire and liquid smoke

Cover tightly with foil then place in the oven and roast for 30 minutes

Add the bacon and canola oil and cook until brown and the fat has rendered slightly, 7 to 8 minutes

Using a slotted spoon, remove the bacon and set aside

15

Add the garlic, celery, onions, peppers and potatoes to the Dutch oven and cook in the bacon fat until translucent, 4 to 5 minutes

16

Using tongs, add the reserved chicken to the Dutch oven

17

Cook to add a little color, 2 to 3 minutes, then pour in any juices from the roasting pan into the Dutch oven

18

Use a little water to get any roasted brown bits from the bottom of the pan off

Return the bacon to the Dutch oven, add the tomatoes and their juices and pour in the remaining chicken stock

20

Stir well, and then simmer for 35 minutes, stirring occasionally
