Country fried chicken thighs are crispy and moist fried chicken. Served with creamy mashed potatoes, it is a great comfort meal now that autumn is peeking around the corner. It begins with boneless chicken thighs cooked in a skillet.
Even those at our house who prefer white meat enjoyed the chicken prepared this way.
Heat oil in pan over medium-high heat. After dredging the boneless chicken in flour, egg and then flour again, fry until cooked through.
Remove from oil and drain on rack.
Pour all but a couple tablespoons of oil from the pan or add oil to a smaller pot.
Add flour to the oil.
Whisk in flour and cook until golden, about 1 minute.
Stir in milk.
Cook until gravy thickens.
Season with salt and pepper and serve gravy with the chicken.
