This was very very good! I loved it that I wasn't standing over the stove all night trying to get the chicken done. The oven does the rest of the work! I loved the way it turned out. I had a whole chicken instead of thighs and the flour coating was just enough plus enough leftover for the gravy which was excellent! I also used all milk in this recipe and it was fine. Great recipe, it is a keeper!
