Sprinkle the garlic powder, salt, white pepper and thyme all over the thighs. Put some olive oil into the pot and brown the chicken thighs skin side down.
After that turn them over to brown the other side and add the fresh garlic and onion.
Next add the butter.
When butter has melted and onion and garlic are soft add 8 cups of water bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer cook for 30 to 40 minutes.
Take the chicken out of the pot to cool off, drain the broth add back to pot and add celery and carrots to cook.
Meanwhile make your biscuit dough for the dumplings use only half the recipe.
Roll them out kinda thin and cut lengthwise and crosswise.
Pick the meat from the thighs and chop if necessary to get the pieces the way you like.
Heat up broth again to boiling and add one batch at a time making sure the dumplings cook through this may take 30 minutes.
