How to Make Smothered Chicken Thighs Gravy
- Start by seasoning both sides of the chicken thighs with Lawry’s seasoning salt, garlic powder, paprika, Sazon, and black pepper, ensuring they are coated well for maximum flavor.
- In a bowl, combine all-purpose flour with any additional seasonings you prefer. Coat each chicken thigh in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
- Heat oil in a large oven-safe pan over medium-high heat. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down and brown for about 5 minutes on each side until they are golden and crispy. Remove and set aside.
- Using the same pan, add butter to the leftover oil. Sauté sliced onions, chopped garlic, and red pepper flakes for 3-5 minutes until fragrant and softened.
- Gradually whisk in the chicken stock, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens. Then, stir in the heavy cream for a rich, velvety texture.
- Nestle the seared chicken thighs back into the gravy. Bring to a gentle boil, cover, and then bake in the preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 45 minutes.
- Once done, remove the cover and spoon that luscious gravy generously over the chicken. Garnish with dried parsley, and serve alongside your favorite sides.
