Step-by-Step Instructions
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season them with Lawry's seasoning salt, garlic powder, paprika, and sazon seasoning. Let them sit for 15 minutes.
- In a shallow dish, mix the all-purpose flour with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Dredge the seasoned chicken thighs in the flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Heat the avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs skin-side down for 5-7 minutes, then flip and sear for another 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and melt the butter. Sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes, cook for another minute.
- Whisk in the reserved flour from the pan drippings to form a roux.
- Gradually whisk in the chicken stock and then slowly add the heavy cream, cooking over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until thickened.
- Return the seared chicken thighs to the gravy, cover with a lid and bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for 45 minutes.
- Remove from oven and serve the chicken thighs with gravy over them along with buttery mashed potatoes.

Notes
For best results, allow flavors to develop and check chicken temperature for safety and juiciness.
