Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Combine the flour, onion powder, paprika and cayenne pepper in a shallow dish. Season with salt and black pepper and stir to combine.
• Heat the oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Pat the chicken dry and place in the flour-spice mixture, turning to dust on both sides. Shake off the excess. Add the coated chicken to the hot oil and sear until brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.
• Add the onions to the oil remaining in the skillet and reduce the heat to medium. Season the onions with salt and black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 45 to 60 seconds.

Reduce the heat until the mixture simmers. Add the reserved chicken with any accumulated juices, nestling it into the onions, and the thyme and bay leaf. Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook until the juices of the chicken run clear when pierced with a knife and the temperature reads 165 degrees F when measured with an instant-read thermometer, about 30 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and black pepper. Discard the thyme sprigs and bay leaf. Serve the chicken immediately.

SMOKED CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Build a small fire in your grill, leaving one side free of coals. When coals are covered with gray ash and the temperature is medium (you can hold your hand 5 inches above the coals for 5 to 7 seconds), you are ready to cook. For a gas grill, turn one of the burners down to low or off, lower cover and heat for 15 minutes.
• Place 2 or 3 handfuls of water-soaked wood chips - like apple, cherry or hickory - onto the coals. For a gas grill, place 2 or 3 handfuls of soaked wood chips onto two large pieces of aluminum foil, then fold the foil over to create a package for the wood. Pierce the top of that package a few times with a fork, then place it on top of the hottest burner on the grill.
• Sprinkle the chicken wings generously with salt and pepper, then place them on the unheated side of the grill, opposite the wood chips. By this point, the chips should be starting to give off smoke. Cover the grill and allow the chicken to smoke for approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
• Uncover the grill to release the smoke. At this point, you can move the chicken so it grills directly over the dying charcoal; cook the chicken over a low flame on a gas grill; roast it in a 425-degree oven; or cook it under the broiler until the chicken is crisp and cooked through, approximately 10 to 15 minutes. However you do it, baste the chicken occasionally with barbecue sauce and turn it often. Remove the chicken to a warmed platter and serve.
