Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • 3-4 tablespoons butter
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped basil ((see note))
  • ½ teaspoon finely chopped oregano
  • ½ teaspoon finely chopped thyme
  • juice of 1 lemon ((1-2 tablespoons, depending on how strong you prefer the lemon flavor))

Instruction

  • Grease your skillet with a little bit of olive oil (1/2 teaspoon) or cooking spray and preheat over medium heat. Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper to taste. Add chicken to skillet, top side down, and cook 2-3 minutes until tops are browned. Transfer chicken to a plate.
  • Add butter to skillet and melt over medium heat. Stir garlic and herbs and saute 1-2 minutes until garlic is fragrant. Stir in lemon juice.
  • Return chicken to skillet and cook 6-8 minutes on each side until cooked through.
  • Flip chicken over a couple of times in the butter sauce to get a good coating immediately before serving. Top with freshly chopped basil or other herbs if desired, along with additional lemon slices or wedges for garnish.
