Add the cleaned chicken thighs to the baking pan, skin side up, and turn the potatoes downward.

Season the chicken and vegetables with seasoning salt, garlic powder, a small amount of onion powder, black pepper, and a small amount of thyme.

Massage the seasonings into the chicken and vegetables.

Add 2 chicken flavored bouillon cubes in the middle of the chicken pieces and a small piece of butter or margarine on top of each thigh.

Pour chicken broth around the sides of the chicken in the baking pan.

Place the baking pan in the oven and bake for 1 hour.

After 1 hour, remove the chicken from the oven and set it aside to begin making the gravy.

Add flour to the remaining juices in the baking pan and stir to combine.

Return the chicken to the baking pan and place it back in the oven until done.
