Description
Tender bone-in chicken thighs smothered in a rich, savory gravy. This comfort dish features a silky blend of chicken broth, milk, and aromatics, perfect for cozy dinners.
Ingredients
4–6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
1 medium onion (finely chopped)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup whole milk
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Brown chicken on both sides (5-7 minutes per side). Remove and set aside.
Add onion to the pot and sauté until softened (3-5 minutes). Stir in garlic.
Sprinkle flour over the onions and garlic, stirring constantly for 2 minutes.
Gradually pour in broth, milk, and cayenne pepper. Stir until smooth.
Return chicken to the pot. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer (25-30 minutes) until chicken is tender and gravy thickens.
Uncover and cook an additional 5 minutes to reduce gravy, if desired.
Notes
Use chicken thighs with skin for richer flavor
Add carrots or potatoes to the pot for extra heartiness
Letting the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving improves juice retention
