Instructions
Make the gravy
To make my gravy, over medium heat, whisk together oil and flour. Cook for a few minutes and whisk in chicken stock. Drop in a chicken bouillon and a beef bouillon cube and let it reduce for a few minutes over the stove.
"Fry" the chicken
Instead of bathing the chicken in tons of oil and fat, I airfried mine! First, I chunk up the chicken and soak in a little buttermilk and egg for about a half hour. Then, dredge in all-purpose flour, pinch of salt, and the remaining herbs/ spices mentioned on the ingredient list. Spray with cooking spray & air fry the chicken at 390 for 8 minutes or until golden. You can also bake at 425 for 12 minutes.
Slim down the potatoes (and boost the nutrition)
Boil potato with a head of chunked cauliflower (I saute the cauliflower a little to develop flavor & add the it about half way through because it takes less time). Once tender, drain and, add in chicken stock, salt, pepper and roasted head of garlic. To make the garlic, just take an entire head of garlic, chop off the top to expose the cloves and then drizzle with olive oil & wrap in tinfoil. Bake at 375 for about 40 min until garlic is sweet and soft.
