Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Skinless chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Sweet paprika
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Canola oil
- 1 medium, chopped Yellow onion
- 1.5 cups Coca-Cola (regular, not diet)
- 1 cup Chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Season the skinless chicken thighs with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and sweet paprika on both sides.
Lightly coat the seasoned chicken thighs with the all-purpose flour, ensuring a thin, even layer.
Heat the canola oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.
Add the chicken thighs to the pan and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the seared chicken from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the chopped yellow onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Pour in the Coca-Cola and chicken stock, and stir to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
Add the ketchup and soy sauce, stirring to combine. Allow the mixture to come to a simmer.
Return the seared chicken thighs to the pan, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid. Lower the heat to medium-low and cover the pan. Simmer for 30 minutes, turning the chicken halfway through.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry.
Remove the cover from the pan, and stir in the cornstarch slurry to thicken the gravy. Let it cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy reaches your desired consistency.
Taste the gravy and adjust seasoning if necessary with additional salt or pepper.
Serve the chicken hot, with the Coke gravy spooned over it. Pair with steamed vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
