Baked Lemon Butter Chicken Thighs

Baked Lemon Butter Chicken Thighs

Recipe by France C from allrecipes.com

Dinner 45 Mins.

Ingredients

4

4 servings

  • 4 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 0.25 teaspoon onion powder
  • 4 (8 ounce) skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Place 3 tablespoons butter in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in a microwave oven until melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Smash garlic cloves with the side of a chef's knife and add garlic to the warm butter. Stir in lemon juice and onion powder; set aside.
  • Sprinkle both sides of chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a medium oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Brown chicken, skin-side down, for 3 to 4 minutes. Flip chicken over and brush skin with lemon-butter mixture. Pour remaining butter mixture into skillet and remove from heat.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Brush skin every 10 minutes with pan juices.
  • Remove skillet from the oven and place chicken on a serving platter. Drizzle chicken with pan juices and garnish with parsley.
