Roasted Garlic Butter Chicken Thighs

 

Ingredients:

6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

5 garlic cloves, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Pat chicken thighs dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning.

In a small bowl, mix melted butter with minced garlic.

Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Place chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.

Flip the chicken, pour the garlic butter over the top, then transfer the skillet to the oven.

Roast for 25-30 minutes or until chicken reaches 165°F inside and skin is crispy.

Spoon some of the garlic butter from the pan over the top before serving. Garnish with parsley if you like!
