Description

A comforting dish featuring juicy bone-in chicken thighs smothered in rich gravy, perfect for family dinners or gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 to 5 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 2 teaspoons Lawry’s seasoning salt, plus 1 tablespoon divided
  • 2 tablespoons garlic powder, divided
  • 2 tablespoons paprika, divided
  • 1 Sazon seasoning packet
  • 2 teaspoons cracked black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • Dried parsley, for garnish
  • 240 grams (2 cups) all-purpose flour
  • 30 milliliters (2 tablespoons) avocado oil or vegetable oil
  • 28 grams (2 tablespoons) unsalted butter
  • 1/2 large white onion, sliced
  • 7 to 8 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 600 milliliters (2 1/2 cups) chicken stock
  • 120 milliliters (1/2 cup) heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken thighs with 2 teaspoons of Lawry’s seasoning salt, 1 tablespoon of garlic powder, 1 tablespoon of paprika, and the Sazon packet, rubbing it onto both sides.
  2. In a bowl, combine flour, 1 tablespoon of Lawry’s, 1 tablespoon of garlic powder, 1 tablespoon of paprika, and black pepper; whisk thoroughly.
  3. Coat the chicken thighs in the seasoned flour and shake off excess; reserve remaining flour.
  4. Heat oil in a large oven-safe pan over medium-high heat. Cook chicken thighs skin side down for 5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  5. Remove excess oil, leaving 2 tablespoons in the pan. Add butter, onion, garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, black pepper, and 4 tablespoons of reserved flour; sauté for 3 to 5 minutes.
  6. Gradually whisk in chicken stock and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in heavy cream.
  7. Return chicken thighs to pan, nestling them in the gravy. Bring to a boil, cover, and bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 45 minutes.
  8. Uncover, spoon gravy over chicken, garnish with parsley, and serve with mashed potatoes.

Notes

Allow the chicken to rest before cooking for even cooking. Adjust spices to taste.
