Instructions
Making Crispy Garlic Butter Chicken is simple and rewarding. Follow these steps to ensure delicious results:
1. Season the Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Sear the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the skin is golden brown and crispy. Flip and sear the other side for another 5 minutes.
4. Add Butter and Garlic: Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes, basting the chicken with the melted butter and garlic.
5. Cook Through: Make sure the chicken is cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). This should take an additional 10-15 minutes.
6. Garnish: Once done, remove the chicken from the skillet. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
7. Serve: Plate the chicken with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
