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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Rinse the chicken thighs under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.

Step 3

In a shallow bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, paprika, salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Step 4

Dredge each chicken thigh in the seasoned flour, ensuring they are evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour.

Step 5

In a large oven-safe skillet or baking dish, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to foam.

Step 6

Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and sear for 2-3 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy.

Step 7

Flip the chicken thighs over and remove the skillet from the heat.

Step 8

Pour the milk evenly over the chicken thighs in the skillet or baking dish.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Remove the skillet or baking dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.

Step 11

Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
