Place the chicken thighs, water, yellow onion, and half of the salt in a pot.
Boil the chicken for 25 minutes, drain and shred the meat, and reserve the chicken stock.
Melt the butter in a wide pot and roast the flour for 5 minutes, until lightly colored.
Add the crushed garlic and red pepper flakes and stir for 30 seconds.
Add the chicken stock ladle by ladle, whisking until the sauce becomes smooth.
Add the shredded chicken, black pepper, and remaining salt to the sauce.
Thicken the sipsi over low heat for 8 minutes so the chicken absorbs the sauce.
💡 Tip: Roast the flour in butter until it smells lightly nutty; because the sauce thickens fast, add the chicken stock by the ladle while whisking.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Transfer sipsi to a hot tray and serve it for a crowded table with optional cornbread, pickles, and ayran.
