Cooking instructions

* Step 1

make a spice bundle with either cheese cloth or a nylon stocking.... the mesh should be very tight.. set aside...

* Step 2

take your chicken thighs or even legs.... IF U ARE USING A WHOLE CHICKEN I SUGGEST IT BE CUT INTO PIECES

* Step 3

DEBONE YOUR CHICKEN THIGHS AND REMOVE SKIN

* Step 4

place chicken and veggies in a mixing bowl with the 2 T of oil,,,,

* Step 5

sprinkle them with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika.... and mix seasonings over chicken and veggies by hand and really rub seasoning in..

* Step 6

I use my heavy bottom dutch oven or cast iron dutch oven.. put a little oil in the pan and allow to get hot.... flick a little flour in it to see if it sizzles..,

* Step 7

dredge only chicken pieces in flour..,, shake them so that loose flour falls off..,,fry the thighs until they are brown, THEY ARE NOT DONE!!!! remove from pan and place on a non-porous surface. let sit.....

* Step 8

pour out oil in pan should just be a little in the bottom...,add celery, onion and bell pepper (can use red and yellow which are sweeter) scrape up any bits...turn pan to med and stir until semi sift.... about 4-6 minutes. put chicken and juices back in pot... and 3 cups chicken broth... ADD SPICE BUNDLE..... and let cool for 20 min take lid off and cook for another 5-7 minutes,., just until liquid is gone.
