Description

A comforting dish of tender chicken thighs cooked in a rich, savory gravy, perfect for family gatherings or cozy dinners.


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 chicken thighs with Lawry’s seasoning salt, garlic powder, paprika, and Sazon. Make sure they’re dry and at room temperature.
  2. In a bowl, mix flour with the remaining spices and black pepper. Coat each chicken thigh in the seasoned flour.
  3. Heat oil in an oven-safe pan over medium-high heat. Cook chicken skin-side down for about 5 minutes per side until golden brown.
  4. Remove chicken and set aside. In the same pan, add butter, onions, garlic, red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Cook for 3-5 minutes.
  5. Gradually whisk in chicken stock, allow to simmer until slightly thickened, then stir in heavy cream.
  6. Return chicken to the pan, bring to a boil, cover, and bake at 200°C (400°F) for about 45 minutes.
  7. After baking, garnish with parsley and serve with sides like mashed potatoes.

Notes

Allow chicken to rest before serving to retain juices. Adjust spices to your taste preference.
