Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    make a spice bundle with either cheese cloth or a nylon stocking.... the mesh should be very tight.. set aside...

    DEBONE YOUR CHICKEN THIGHS AND REMOVE SKIN

  4. 4

    place chicken and veggies in a mixing bowl with the 2 T of oil,,,,

  5. 5

    sprinkle them with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika.... and mix seasonings over chicken and veggies by hand and really rub seasoning in..

  6. 6

    I use my heavy bottom dutch oven or cast iron dutch oven.. put a little oil in the pan and allow to get hot.... flick a little flour in it to see if it sizzles..,

  7. 7

    dredge only chicken pieces in flour..,, shake them so that loose flour falls off..,,fry the thighs until they are brown, THEY ARE NOT DONE!!!! remove from pan and place on a non-porous surface. let sit.....

  8. 8

    pour out oil in pan should just be a little in the bottom...,add celery, onion and bell pepper (can use red and yellow which are sweeter) scrape up any bits...turn pan to med and stir until semi sift.... about 4-6 minutes. put chicken and juices back in pot... and 3 cups chicken broth... ADD SPICE BUNDLE..... and let cool for 20 min take lid off and cook for another 5-7 minutes,., just until liquid is gone.

  9. 9

    if u want to use 2 1/4 cup broth and 1/4 cup white wine like Chardonnay.
