  • In a small bowl, combine the butter and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add garlic and any other herbs or other flavorings to the butter that you would like. Combine.
  • Place butter mixture under the skin, on top of the thigh meat. Using your finger or the back of a spoon, carefully spread the butter evenly under the skin of each thigh by rubbing on top of the skin. Next, rub the skin of each thigh with olive oil.
  • Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the thigh.
  • Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until juices run clear.
