Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 5 chicken thighs (skin on and bone in )
  • Salt and black pepper (to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 5 cloves garlic (crushed)
  • Fresh parsley (chopped)

Instruction

  • Preheat your oven to 400F degrees. Move oven rack to center. Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towel and season all over with salt and black pepper.
  • Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet (10-inch) over medium heat. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear until the skin is golden and crispy. It’s about 5 minutes (they will not be cooked through at this point).
  • Flip your chicken over once the skin is crispy. If your chicken thighs releases a lot of fat, dispose it using a spoon.
  • Place butter in the same skillet. When the butter is melted, add minced garlic. Stir the garlic around the pan for 30 seconds.
  • Place the whole skillet in the oven and bake for 30 mins for until chicken gets the internal temperature at 165°F.
  • When the chicken is cooked, spoon some of the garlic butter sauce over the top of each chicken thigh. Top with parsley before serving.
