Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Rinse the chicken thighs under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.
In a shallow bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, paprika, salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Dredge each chicken thigh in the seasoned flour, ensuring they are evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour.
In a large oven-safe skillet or baking dish, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to foam.
Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and sear for 2-3 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy.
Flip the chicken thighs over and remove the skillet from the heat.
Pour the milk evenly over the chicken thighs in the skillet or baking dish.
Place the skillet or baking dish into the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 45-50 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Remove the skillet or baking dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
