Step 1
Preheat oven to 400F.Dry the chicken by patting with paper towels and if you haven't Pre-seasoned, sprinkle both sides liberally with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Place the flour in a shallow bowl and dredge the chicken in the flour to coat.
Step 3
In a large, ovenproof pan (12-inches will do), heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the floured chicken in three batches (don't overcrowd the pan) and brown lightly for 3 to 5 minutes on each side.
Step 4
Remove the browned thighs, set aside and continue with the rest until all the chicken is browned and set aside.
Step 5
Drain any excess fat from the pan and add the chopped pancetta and cook until crispy.
Step 6
If necessary, remove from the pan, set aside and drain the excess fat (without wiping the pan). Reduce heat to medium-high. Add the bacon back to the pan along with chopped onion and cook until soft, but not brown.
Step 7
Add the garlic and cook another minute.
Step 8
Add the mushrooms and saute until soft.
Step 9
Add the sherry. Raise the heat to high, bring to boil, scraping the bottom of the skillet to mix the brown bits into the liquid. Cook another 2 minutes to cook down the alcohol.
Step 10
Add chicken stock and parsley. Return chicken to the skillet, skin side up. Bake for 35 minutes (or until an instant-read thermometer is about 165 degrees), the chicken should be very tender.
Step 11
Remove the chicken and set aside. With a fork, mash together the butter and 3 tablespoons of flour and add it to the sauce.
Step 12
Return to the stove, stirring constantly, over medium-high heat until the sauce is thickened slightly.
Step 13
Taste for seasoning and season to taste, put the chicken back in the sauce, and serve hot.
