Ingredients

Chicken thighs

  • 4-6 chicken thighs skin, bone in
  • ½ tsp salt
  • Flour
  • Oil/fat for sauté

Sauce

  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can milk
  • 1 tsp Sriracha Sauce
  • ½ tsp thyme dried
  • 1 envelope onion soup mix
  • ¼ tsp Umami Seasoning basically mushroom powder, onion powder, black pepper and “spices”
  • ½ tsp Turkish Seasoning from Penzeys – salt, garlic, cumin, black pepper, oregano, paprika, sumac, cayenne and cilantro mix
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Salt chicken thighs and dredge in flour.
  2. Sauté in a heavy pan (cast iron works best) skin side down over medium heat, and turn once the skin browns and starts to crisp up. Brown the bottom side.
  3. Remove the pan from the heat and place in a 350F oven. Bake for 35-45 minutes.
  4. Mix together the sauce ingredients.
  5. When chicken is almost done, remove from the oven, and spoon the sauce around the chicken. Leave some skin open to heat so it stays crispy. Return to the oven for 10-15 minutes.

Recipe Notes

Serve with a side of herb rice or orzo. Spoon the sauce along side the rice and chicken allowing it to mix with the rice or orzo.
