INGREDIENTS:
· 1 lb chicken legs, thighs or breasts
· 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
· 1 tsp salt
· 1 tsp ground black pepper
· 1 tsp celery seed
· 1 tbsp onion powder
· 1 tsp poultry seasoning
· 1 tbsp garlic powder
· 1 tsp smoked paprika
· 1/4 cup vegetable oil
· 2 cups chicken broth
· 1 cup whole milk
· 2 tsp minced garlic
· 1 medium sized onion chopped
INSTRUCTIONS:
· Start off by making sure that all of the chicken is nice and clean.
· Pour 1 1/2 cup flour into a large bowl, and add in seasonings: garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, celery seed, poultry seasoning, and smoked paprika. Mix until well incorporated.
· Coat the chicken with the seasoned flour; make sure you coat all surfaces. Reserve the seasoned flour for making the gravy.
· Pour 1/4 cup of vegetable oil into a large pan, then place the plan over medium heat.
· Start adding in the chicken but be sure to not over-crowd the pan (use a pan big enough to hold all of the chicken).
· Cook the chicken until it is golden brown (DO NOT worry about cooking the chicken until done, because you will cook it some more).
· Once the chicken is nice and browned, remove it from the pan. Leave the oil in the pan.
· Toss in the onions and cook them for about 2 minutes, then add in the garlic. Once the garlic is in the pan, let it cook for an additional minute, then remove the onions and garlic from the pan.
· Add three tbsp of the seasoned flour (the same flour that you coat the chicken with) to the pan. Stir in with the oil.
· Next, pour in 2 cups of chicken broth. Whisk in while pouring in the broth. Make sure there aren't any lumps.
· Let the gravy cook for about 2 minutes (still on medium heat), then pour 1 cup of milk into the pan.
· Let the creamy gravy cook for about 3 minutes, then start adding the chicken back into the pan, as well as the onions and garlic. Make sure all of the chicken is coated with the creamy gravy.
· Place a lid on the pan, then let the chicken cook for 30-35 minutes. Be sure to occasionally turn the chicken.
· Once done, serve the chicken with rice, mashed potatoes, or your favorite Southern side dishes.
· Enjoy!
