Garlic Butter Chicken Thighs Golden Pan-Seared Chicken Thighs in Garlic Butter Sauce Ingredients: 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1/2 teaspoon paprika 1 tablespoon olive oil 3 tablespoons unsalted butter 6 garlic cloves, minced 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme) 1/2 cup chicken broth 1 tablespoon lemon juice Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish) Directions: Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for 5–7 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip and cook another 5 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside. Lower heat to medium. In the same pan, add butter and garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in thyme, chicken broth, and lemon juice. Simmer for 2–3 minutes. Return chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up. Spoon sauce over the top. Cover and cook on low for 10–12 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). Uncover and let simmer for an additional 2 minutes to thicken the sauce slightly. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
