Ingredients
- 6 pound chicken cut into pieces
- 1/2 - 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- 1/3 cup all purpose flour
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil or any type of cooking oil
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Chop chicken into 8-10 pieces. You can purchase chicken already cut or ask your butcher to piece a whole chicken.
- Heat oil in heavy bottomed skillet. My preference is my cast iron skillet.
- Generously season chicken with salt and pepper.
- Dust chicken pieces in flour ensuring all sides are coated. Shake off excess flour, then place chicken in heated frying pan. You may have to sear chicken in batches to avoid over-crowding the chicken.
- Using medium-high heat, sear both sides of chicken until golden brown. Transfer to roasting pan or dutch oven.
- After all the chicken pieces are seared deglaze the skillet by adding chicken broth while skillet is still hot. Be sure to scrape all the flavorful bits from the pan.
- Pour over the chicken.
- Cover and bake for about 1- 1 1/2 hours until chicken is done. Meat thermometer reads 175 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Use pan drippings to make delicious gravy.
