Ingredients
2 servings
Chicken thighs bone-in skin-on4 pieces
Butter30 g
Garlic clove minced1 piece
Dried thyme0.5 tsp
Salt and black pepper1 pinch
Method
1
Season the chicken thighs generously on both sides with salt and black pepper.
2
Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in a cold skillet without adding any oil.
3
Turn the heat to medium and cook for about 15 minutes without moving them, letting the fat render out and the skin become golden and very crispy.
4
Flip the chicken thighs over and cook the other side for another 8 to 10 minutes until cooked through.
5
Turn the heat down to low, add the butter, minced garlic, and dried thyme directly to the pan, and spoon the melting butter over the chicken skin for 1 minute.
6
Remove from the heat and serve the chicken immediately with the pan juices poured over the top.
