Ingredients
6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
1.5 pounds baby gold potatoes
1 large yellow onion, sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon dried thyme or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
1.5 teaspoons salt (divided)
1 teaspoon black pepper (divided)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Season chicken thighs with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
4. Sear chicken skin-side down for 5–6 minutes until golden. Flip and cook another 2 minutes. Remove and set aside.
5. Reduce heat to medium. Add butter and sliced onions to the skillet. Sauté for 5 minutes until soft and caramelized.
6. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
7. Sprinkle flour over the onions and stir constantly for 1 minute.
8. Gradually whisk in chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Simmer until slightly thickened.
9. Add potatoes to the skillet. Cut larger ones in half for even cooking.
10. Nestle chicken thighs on top, skin-side up. Sprinkle with thyme and the remaining salt and pepper.
11. Transfer skillet to the oven and bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender and chicken reaches 175°F internally.
12. Let rest 5 minutes. Serve hot with generous spoonfuls of gravy.
Notes
For extra crispy skin, sear the chicken well and bake uncovered.
Swap in carrots or Brussels sprouts for variation.
Store leftovers with a splash of broth to maintain gravy consistency when reheating.
