Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Pat 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs dry and season evenly with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes. Place chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for 6-7 minutes until skin is deep golden and crispy.
  3. Step 3: Flip chicken thighs and transfer skillet to the preheated oven. Roast for 15 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  4. Step 4: Remove skillet from oven and return to stovetop over medium heat. Add 4 tbsp unsalted butter, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley. Cook and spoon butter over chicken for 2-3 minutes until garlic is fragrant and butter melts into a glossy sauce.
  5. Step 5: Serve chicken thighs drizzled with the garlic-parsley butter sauce immediately.
