Equipment
- cast iron skillet
Ingredients
- 4-6 Chicken Thighs- bone in, skin on
- 2 tbs Olive Oil
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 1 tbs Chicken Bullion
- 1 tbs Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 stick Butter
- 4 cloves Garlic, chopped
- Parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°
- First, pat the chicken thighs dry using a paper towel and add them to a large bowl and add the olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika and chicken bullion.
- Now, mix everything together until the chicken is evenly coated in the seasoning and let that marinate for at least 10 minutes.
- Then, heat a cast iron skillet (or an oven safe pan) over medium high heat, and add the chicken thighs skin side down.
- Now, sear the chicken thighs on both sides for about 5 minutes or until the skin is brown and crispy.
- Next, arrange the chicken skin side up and turn off the heat. Add the butter, garlic and parsley to the center and let the butter melt.
- Now, spoon some garlic butter over the chicken thighs and place the skillet into the oven for about 15 minutes.
- Next, spoon some more garlic butter over the top of the chicken and place it back into the oven to continue cooking for another 15 minutes.
- Finally, let the chicken cool slightly, transfer to a serving dish and garnish with parsley (optional). Serve warm and enjoy!
