Chicken In The Pot

1. 1

   ["Dry chicken and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder onion powder and smoked paprika.", "In a cast iron dutch oven or large deep skillet (the ""pot""), melt butter. When the butter is hot, add the chicken pieces a few at a time and brown well on all sides over medium-high heat. Set them aside as they are browned. (Do this in batches so the pieces aren't crowded. )", "Reduce heat to low. Stir garlic chunks into the butter and put the chicken pieces back into the pot. Cook, covered, for 30-45 minutes, opening the pot every 15 minutes or so and turning the pieces so that they cook well on all sides. When done, the chicken will be very brown and there will be a delicious pan drippings.", "Remove the chicken and keep warm. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of flour to the remaining pan drippings and cook till thickened. (You're essentially making a roux.) Stir in sherry and chicken broth and cook over low heat. You will have a thick sauce with chunks of garlic in it.", "Serve the chicken with rice and pass the sauce separately.", "Mashed potatoes are also nice with this. (My mother used to serve it with Minute Rice and canned baby peas, but you don't have to.)"]
