Ingredients
Scale
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Cooking oil for frying
2 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk or half-and-half
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Marinate the chicken in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes, preferably overnight.
In a shallow dish, mix together flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
Remove chicken from buttermilk and dredge in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring an even coat.
Heat cooking oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet and brown the chicken pieces for 3-4 minutes on each side.
Transfer browned chicken to a baking dish and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 30-35 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
In the same skillet, make the gravy by sprinkling flour over the drippings, whisking until toasted, then gradually adding chicken broth and milk, cooking until thickened.
Serve the chicken with the creamy gravy drizzled on top.
