4 chicken thighs
4 tablespoons butter
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary.
In a large oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side down, and sear for 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
Flip the chicken thighs and spoon some of the garlic butter over them.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken thighs in the garlic butter mixture for a few hours before cooking.
