INGREDIENTS:
6-8 pieces chicken thighs, drumsticks, or breasts, cleaned
1 cup flour
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
2 tsp paprika
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 1/2 cups water
DIRECTIONS:
Season and Coat the Chicken:
In a shallow bowl, combine flour, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Dredge each piece of chicken in the seasoned flour mixture, shaking off excess.
Prepare the Baking Dish:
Lightly grease a baking dish with butter or oil, then sprinkle a little seasoned flour over the surface. Arrange the chicken pieces in the dish, skin side up.
Mix the Cream and Water:
In a bowl, stir together the heavy whipping cream and water. Pour the mixture over the chicken, covering all pieces.
Bake the Chicken:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the chicken for 1 1/2 hours, until golden brown and cooked through. The gravy should be thick and bubbling.
Serve:
Let the dish cool for a few minutes. Serve the chicken with gravy, alongside your choice of sides.
