Notes
If you dont have a dutch oven you can use any pot or deep casserole dish, if it doesn't have a lid wrap tightly with aluminium foil.
Thyme and rosemary can be used instead of Herbes de Provence
You can also use chicken legs or a combination of thighs and legs.
Make sure all the chicken thighs are close to the same size for even cooking.
