Instructions<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. \n

    Prep the Pot:<\/strong>
    Heat a large Dutch oven or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Season the Chicken:<\/strong>
    Combine all spices in a bowl. Season chicken thoroughly, including under the skin.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Brown the Chicken:<\/strong>
    Add oil to the pot and brown chicken on both sides (about 6 minutes total). Remove and set aside.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    Saut\u00e9 the Onions:<\/strong>
    Melt butter in the same pot. Add sliced onions and cook until soft and translucent, 5\u20137 minutes, scraping up any browned bits.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  5. \n

    Make the Gravy:<\/strong>
    Stir in flour and bouillon powder. Slowly whisk in chicken stock to form a smooth gravy. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  6. \n

    Simmer the Chicken:<\/strong>
    Bring gravy to a gentle boil. Return chicken to the pot, cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until chicken is tender.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  7. \n

    Serve:<\/strong>
    Spoon chicken and gravy over warm white rice. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy!<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
