Technique to learn

Pan Gravy Emulsification

Combining pan drippings, butter, flour, and stock to create a smooth homemade skillet gravy.

Instructions

Step 1: Marinate halal chicken thighs in buttermilk for 15 minutes, then drain off excess liquid.
Step 2: Whisk all-purpose flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a dish and light-coat chicken thighs.

Step 3: Heat vegetable oil and one tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat.

Step 4: Sear chicken thighs skin-side down for 8 minutes, turn, and cook 12 minutes more until chicken reaches 165°F.

Step 5: Remove chicken from skillet, melt remaining butter in pan drippings, and whisk in one tablespoon of remaining flour to form a quick roux.

Step 6: Slowly whisk in halal chicken stock and sweet corn kernels, simmering for 4 minutes until thickened into gravy.

Cooking tips

Let marinated chicken rest 10 minutes at room temperature before frying to prevent uneven cooking.
Whisk pan gravy continuously while pouring stock to keep flour smoothly integrated.
