Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 1 cup flour
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons dried tarragon
• 8 chicken thighs (skin removed, with or without bone)
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/2 cup dry wine (or more) or 1/2 cup chicken broth (or more)

Recipe

• 3 remove chicken and reserve flour mixture.
• 4 heat oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• 5 add chicken, in batches if necessary, and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes per side.
• 6 place chicken in a crock pot.
• 7 add flour to the fat and drippings in the pan.
• 8 over medium-low heat, whisk in wine/broth until mixture is thick and smooth. (i used a cast iron skillet which gets hot & retains heat so for this step, i just shut it off) you may need more liquid to get a nice sauce.
