Step 1

Ensure you have all your ingredients ready: chicken thighs, garlic cloves, butter, salt, black pepper, and fresh herbs like parsley or thyme.

Step 2

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then generously season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt a knob of butter. Once sizzling, place the chicken thighs skin-side down into the pan.

Step 4

Turn the chicken thighs over and add minced garlic to the pan. Cook for another 5 minutes.

Step 5

Add another generous pat of butter into the skillet along with fresh herbs. Let the butter melt and blend with the garlic.

Step 6

Ensure the chicken is cooked thoroughly. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

Step 7

Transfer the chicken to a serving plate, drizzle with the pan juices, and garnish with additional fresh herbs.
