Combine the flour, salt, garlic powder and pepper in a gallon-sized zip-up plastic bag. Remove 1 tablespoon of the flour mixture and set aside.
Add the chicken thighs and seal the bag. Gently shake until the chicken is completely coated. Let the chicken sit in the flour mixture, at room temperature for 15 minutes.
Melt the butter and oil in a large sauce pan iron skillet over medium heat. Once the butter mixture is bubbling, add the chicken thighs to brown each side. Transfer to your vitaclay clay pot.
Add the rest of the ingredients in your vitaclay clay pot. Set on Stew or fast to cook for 30-40 minutes or until cooked through.
