Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Pat dry 6 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs and rub all over with 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, and 3 minced garlic cloves.
  2. Step 2: Place chicken thighs skin-side up on a rimmed baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until skin is golden and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  3. Step 3: While chicken roasts, melt 2 tbsp unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  4. Step 4: Add remaining 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Step 5: Pour in 1/2 cup chicken broth and let simmer for 3 minutes to reduce slightly.
  6. Step 6: Stir in 1 cup heavy cream and simmer gently for 5-7 minutes until sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  7. Step 7: Season sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Step 8: Serve the roasted chicken thighs drizzled generously with the garlic cream sauce.
