    This sauce just does not adequately thicken. I used all thighs. 6 In lieu of the 4 drumsticks. I think just about every step needs more time than asked for. It wasn’t bad. It just wasn’t something I’d make again.

    This was okay, too saucy as every body said. Reducing the stock to two cups and using the same amount of flour and cream would have produce a thicker and richer sauce.

    This was pretty good, a lot more sauce compared to the chicken called for. Not sure if I’d make again.

    The sauce was a bit runny even after adding more flour. I think that I would deglaze the pan with the wine and then add the stock, maybe just starting with 2 cups.

    This was good but not great. I feel like it could have used some umami (maybe tomato) to boost the flavor. Also, the gravy was a bit thin. I might try this again, as it IS really comforting. We ate this with mashed potatoes.

    I have made this twice in a fortnight for my elderly in-laws as this is the type of food they crave. They absolutely loved it and my immediate family also enjoyed it immensely. I used skinless boneless thigh fillets following Nagi’s instructions to the letter about cooking times. I also added extra mushrooms because we all love mushrooms. Needs a fair bit of seasoning and excellent served with mashed potatoes and steamed greens.
