Gravy Baked Chicken
Got 5 minutes for dinner? Make this incredible baked chicken recipe! Crispy oven roasted chicken thighs and drumsticks that makes its own gravy in the same baking pan. Minutes to prep, zero maintenance to cook. 100% delish! It’s a dump-and-bake recipe, but entirely made from scratch – no canned soup shortcuts around here! Chicken is coated in a simple spice mix for flavor (plus it makes the chicken crispy!) then it’s baked in a flour/beef stock liquid that magically thickens into a gravy by the time the chicken is cooked.
The key to this recipe is how the “self saucing gravy” is made. You simply whisk together flour with beef stock/broth, then pour it around the chicken. Serve with anything your heart desires. Pictured at the top of the post with creamy mashed potato and a side of Rocket Salad with Balsamic Dressing, with buttery Seasoned Rice and steamed greens drizzled with the herb & garlic dressing from this Cucumber Salad. Get creative! Chicken and gravy. It goes with anything.
