Chicken in Onion Gravy

I don't know if it's a rule or anything but mashed potatoes should always be served with gravy! This chicken recipe makes an awesome gravy for smothering both the chicken and mashed potatoes in!

Ingredients:

3 bone-in chicken legs

2 tsps olive oil

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp thyme

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp turmeric

 

Gravy:

4 tbsps flour

2 cups beef broth

2 tbsps dry onion soup mix

1 onion, thinly sliced

 

Preheat the oven to 400°F

Mix the smoked paprika, thyme, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper and turmeric together in a bowl. Spray a 13 X 9" baking dish with oil and place the chicken legs in skin side up without overlapping. Rub olive oil on the legs then sprinkle with the seasoning mix. Whisk the flour with 1/2 cup broth then add the remaining broth and dry onion soup mix. Pour around the chicken and add the onion slices.

Bake in the 400°F oven uncovered for 45-50 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reads 165°F.

Plate the chicken then stir the gravy and serve over both the chicken and the mashed potatoes making a "compulsory" mashed potato and gravy volcano!
