gonna call this like a small onion this is a yellow onion listen we just gonna chop this we don't get us a rough chop okay look the first thing I'm gonna do is I'm a preheat my oven let's see we're gonna preheat it to 425 degrees now we're getting ready to prep everything ok what I did was I didn't record this part just so you guys can see I went ahead and chop down that onion you can see just these kind of slices do you not I mean just when I say rough chop any kind of way you want to you don't want to do a dice cuz we gonna put this in the gravy right so now get yourself a small bowl and what you want to do is you want to go ahead and what we gonna do is we're gonna add our paprika or oregano chili powder and our granulated onions so we'll just put all this in here like this no just got myself a little small whisk we just want to get it together you know mix it all up and I'm gonna show you why we're gonna mix it up here even though we're gonna use it later but we're gonna use a few pinches of this in just one second [Music] now after that's doing what you want to do is get yourself a large you know a large bowl right so I'm gonna go ahead and just add a couple of pieces of this chicken in here right then we're just gonna take our hand we just going to use a few pinches we just want to season this up then we're gonna add a couple of more seasoned nurse like this we're gonna mix it around you just want to make sure you get it to coated then we going let me go ahead and wash my hands now what I'm getting ready to do is I'm going to have a little couple of sprinkles of a couple of dashes it is kosher salt and then some fresh ground pepper now you just want to get in here you know move them around make sure that you have someone to undercarriage you know the under bottom of the of your thighs then if you feel like you need to add some more you can this flavor profile you know and you can see let me just bring it up here hope you guys can see that you can see that it transfers you know just perfect sometimes you know we can over season if we don't have to you know maybe we just leave it like it is but I'm liking what I see is transferring to each piece each individual piece you know nicely I will just give it one little and then we go let's just sit up just like this right so it should look like that we'll set this off to the side now you want to get yourself another bowl then you want to go ahead and add your flour and then the remainder of your seasons right but I'm going to go ahead and add some ground pepper to it also and we're gonna get rid of a couple of pinches of salt now go ahead get yourself a whisk or however you want to do it we can do it old-school you can get yourself a bag we can do it you know that old-school shaking bait however you want to do it but you know what I just answered the comment also somebody was asking me about will it be too salty if you like seasoned both the flour and the flour and your you know your chicken right but I'm gonna say listen if you want great-tasting on chicken you want the flavor to be throughout you got to do both your meat and your flour now got that done right so now what we want to do is we want to take one of our pieces of chicken and we wanted to get it coated right once you got it coated then we going to shake it off you guys know the drill super easy you know I mean pretty much this all the same we just take it shake it like this then we put it on the sheet get yourself another one and all you got to do is you know repeat till this is done you know cuz this and we're gonna cook this in our pan right and I said earlier I was gonna be using my cast iron but I'm not you know what I'm gonna use another pan I'm gonna using an induction pan that I have that's ready to go so what we want to do now is what you want to do is you want to go ahead as you're doing this so you can you know it's about multitasking right what we gonna do is we're gonna take it we're gonna put a little bit of our olive oil in our pan we're gonna start bringing that up to 10 or we just want to get something here you know enough just to coat this bottle is what we gonna do is we're gonna sort it like fry the chicken and then we're gonna put a lid over the top let me get my lid so you guys can see listen we only gonna do it about four to five minutes on you saw now once this one comes up to temp then we're gonna go ahead and put our chicken in here and again we're gonna do it four to five minutes on inside all right now they're just up to temp I'm gonna go ahead and start with the skin side down then what we want to do is we want to go ahead put our lid on the top now we're gonna let it cook I'm gonna set a timer for four minutes and then we're gonna come in you know we're going to look at it and see determine if we want to go a little longer now what we want to do is just go ahead look at the bottom of it you can see I'm gonna let it go one more minute now this has been a total of five minutes what we want to do it we just go ahead and flip it over now remember we don't want to cook this all the way right we just Brown in the top getting a little bit of you know cook time done on it we all cover it again and we're gonna go for another five minutes now five minutes is up what we want to do is we're going to take this off put it on our our baking sheet and then we gonna continue to do the rest of our chicken and then we move over to the next step now once all you got your chicken done now if you want to go ahead and add your onions then we just go cook these down maybe for Bob I don't know about three to four minutes now it's been about four minutes look we're gonna go ahead and add our minced garlic but we're gonna be quick with it right we only gonna move this around for about one minute our crushed peppers now we're gonna add our butter then once we get our buttermilk right then it'll be time to you know that flour now you want to go ahead and have a couple of tablespoons of your seasoned flour that was left over just a little bit more and then what you want to do is you just want to give it a whisk you want to keep it moving right you want to cook down this flour taste first so it's okay just keep it moving make sure you don't see any white you should take them you know just a couple of minutes just keep moving it like this after we get through cooking this out we're gonna start introducing our chicken stock you can use chicken stock chicken broth whatever you guys find at your market whatever your preference is you know either hor now remember look the key is you got to keep that whisk moving right so as the it starts to heat up you'll see it starting to get lumpy once you've got you know once it starts to do that now it's time to introduce our chicken stock so what you want to do is you just want to pour it in you know slowly just you know in small increments as you see that I'm doing there and then once you got it you know incorporated and it's starting to flow good then you can go ahead and pour the rest of it in there and then once it comes back up to temp then it'll be time for you to add the heavy whipping cream as you see you can look at my right arm right there at my hand listen I never stop moving with that whisk so you just want to keep going around and around and keep blending it and that right there is the key to getting it creamy so once that's done and you got that cooked then you go ahead and introduce you know your chicken now go ahead and get yourself a spoon and just start you know spooning some on top of your chicken you know it so that it can just like soak in there and soak in the dead skin and listen when I tell you it's gonna be moist that's what it's going to be now go ahead and add you know your talk and then what you want to do is you want to put it in the oven listen has already been preheated for 425 degrees right and after one hour this is what we come
