Ingredients
4 servings
4 tablespoons butter, divided
4 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons lemon juice
¼ 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
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Sprinkle both sides of chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a medium-sized 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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Remove skillet from the oven and place chicken on a serving platter. Drizzle chicken with pan juices and garnish with parsley.
