directions
- Place flour, salt, pepper and tarragon in a large zippered bag.
- Add chicken in batches and shake to coat.
- Remove chicken and reserve flour mixture.
- Heat oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add chicken, in batches if necessary, and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes per side.
- Place chicken in a crock pot.
- Add flour to the fat and drippings in the pan.
- 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.

- Sprinkle with parsley before serving.

Taste wise absolutely delicious, the only issue I had was when I went to add the flour and then add the 1/2 cup of wine I ended up with a thick gluggy paste and 2 cups of stock it was still thick and pasty so put half of it in a bowl and added another cup of water till I had a smooth thick sauce and poured that over the thighs and then added the rest of the ingredients and 4 hours later (which is what I estimated it would take in my crock pot on low) we had the most succulent and flavoursome of chicken dishes, next time I will make sure I have rice to serve it over for that sauce is outstanding and will give basil a try in place of the tarragon as I always feel that basil and tomatoes go so well together.
