This smothered chicken recipe looked like it wouldn’t be too difficult to make. Not too many ingredients and no special techniques to master. As usual though, I vastly under estimated the time it would take. I decided not to use parts from a whole chicken like they did in the video but to use all chicken thighs instead. Here I have most of the ingredients assembled, and the thighs are salted and floured and ready to go.

Browning the chicken in the dutch oven was not a problem.

I kinda forgot to take photos of all the steps. Here is the smothered chicken in the serving dish.

And here it is with rice on my plate.

Here’s the video to show how the professionals do it.
