Description

Juicy and flavorful chicken thighs seared to perfection with a garlic herb butter that adds a rich taste to your meal. Perfect for dinner!


Ingredients

Scale

4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

Lemon wedges for serving


Instructions

1. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.

2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.

3. Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and cook until the skin is crispy and golden brown, about 7-8 minutes.

4. Flip the chicken thighs over and add the butter, garlic, rosemary, and thyme to the skillet.

5. Spoon the melted butter over the chicken and cook for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

6. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

7. Serve with lemon wedges.


Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the garlic and herbs for a few hours before cooking.

Serve with your favorite side dishes like roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
