Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter Can substitute with olive oil.
  • 4 cloves garlic Minced.
  • Salt and pepper To taste.
  • Fresh parsley Chopped, for garnish.

Instructions
 

  • Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.
  • In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat until bubbling.
  • Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for 7-8 minutes until crispy and golden brown, then flip and cook for another 7-8 minutes on the other side.
  • Push the chicken to the side of the pan, add the remaining butter and minced garlic, stirring to combine.
  • Spoon the garlic butter over the chicken and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F.

Notes

Let chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. Add vegetables to the skillet for a complete one-pan meal. Use a meat thermometer for perfect results. Serve with a simple side salad for freshness.
