# Steps:
01 - Pat chicken pieces dry with paper towels. Season all sides generously with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
02 - In a shallow bowl, combine flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each chicken piece in the flour mixture, shaking off excess. Reserve remaining flour for the gravy.
03 - Heat vegetable oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Add chicken skin-side down and fry 6 to 8 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove chicken and set aside.
04 - Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of oil from the skillet. Add sliced onions and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until golden and softened, approximately 8 to 10 minutes.
05 - Sprinkle reserved flour over the onions. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 to 2 minutes until flour is lightly browned.
06 - Gradually whisk in chicken broth, scraping up browned bits from the skillet bottom. Add thyme, paprika, salt, black pepper, and butter. Simmer until thickened, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
07 - Return chicken to the skillet, nestling into the gravy. Spoon some gravy over the chicken. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes until chicken is tender and cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F.
08 - Transfer chicken to serving plates and spoon onion gravy generously over each portion. Serve immediately.
