Notes
Chicken-I use skin-on chicken thighs, chicken legs also work great or a combination.
Stock- Both chicken and beef stock work great. Chicken stock will have a lighter-colored gravy.
When I use chicken stock, If the gravy is too thick whisk in a couple of Tbsp of hot water to thin it out.
If the gravy comes out too thin. Remove the chicken to a platter and place the dish back into the oven to cook for another 5 minutes to thicken.
