Ingredients
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
1 pound baby potatoes
1 large yellow onion, sliced
4 cloves garlic, crushed
2 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Pat the chicken dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken skin-side down until golden and crisp, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add onions and garlic. Sauté until softened, scraping up browned bits from the pan.
4. Sprinkle flour over the onions, stir to coat, and slowly whisk in chicken broth until smooth. Simmer 2-3 minutes.
5. Return chicken to the skillet, nestle potatoes around, add butter, and sprinkle with fresh thyme.
6. Transfer the skillet to a 375°F oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until chicken is cooked and potatoes are tender.
7. Spoon extra gravy over each serving and enjoy hot.
Notes
For a thicker gravy, let the broth reduce an extra few minutes before baking.
Swap baby potatoes for carrots or mushrooms for seasonal variations.
