Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

¼ cup vegetable oil, divided
1 red onion, cut into strips
1 (2 to 3 pound) whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces
¾ cup all-purpose flour
⅛ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 cups water
1 cup cider vinegar

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet and saute onion until tender. Remove and set aside.
  • Place flour, salt and pepper in a large, clean grocery bag. Add chicken, close bag tightly and shake to coat. Let sit 5 minutes. Remove chicken from bag, reserving leftover flour in bag. Heat remaining oil in skillet and brown chicken on all sides in hot oil. Remove chicken from skillet and place in a deep roasting pan.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Heat reserved flour in skillet over medium high heat, stirring constantly, to make a dark roux. Slowly stir in pepper flakes, water and vinegar. Finally stir in reserved sauteed onion. Mix well and pour mixture over chicken.
  • Cover dish and bake in preheated oven for about 35 to 45 minutes, or until chicken is tender and cooked through (no longer pink inside). Note: If gravy is too thick, add water to pan, a little at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

This recipe looks delicious, but I'm not sure if I have all of the ingredients. I'll have to check my pantry before I can make it.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but this recipe didn't turn out well for me. The chicken was tough and the sauce was watery. I wouldn't make this again.

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was overcooked and the sauce was way too salty. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry, and the sauce was a little bland. I wouldn't make this again.

I'm not a huge fan of smothered chicken, but this recipe changed my mind. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful without being too heavy. I'll definitely be making this again.

I've made this recipe several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The chicken is always cooked perfectly, and the sauce is so flavorful. I love that it's a one-pot meal, so cleanup is a breeze.

This smothered chicken was a hit with my family! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the sauce was rich and flavorful. I served it over mashed potatoes, and it was the perfect comfort food for a cold winter night.
