When it comes to creating the perfect crockpot chicken and gravy, it all starts with the right ingredients. Here are the essentials you’ll need to gather before you get started:
1. Chicken: Choose bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or drumsticks for the best results. These cuts of meat are more flavorful and will stay moist during the slow cooking process.
2. Seasonings: To enhance the flavor of your chicken, you’ll need a combination of herbs and spices. Some popular options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, rosemary, and salt and pepper.
3. Flour: This will be used to thicken the gravy. Opt for all-purpose flour or a gluten-free alternative if you have dietary restrictions.
4. Chicken broth: A good-quality chicken broth will add depth and richness to your gravy. If you don’t have chicken broth on hand, you can use vegetable broth or even water as a substitute.
5. Butter: Butter will add richness and flavor to your gravy. You can use either unsalted or salted butter, depending on your preference.
