Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 4 pieces bone-in chicken thighs for juicy, flavorful meat and crisping skin when seared.
  • 4 medium potatoes, diced choose waxy or Yukon Gold for even cooking and a creamy interior.
  • 4 tablespoons butter provides the rich garlic butter base and helps brown the chicken.
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced adds bright, savory aroma and depth to the butter.
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme brings a gentle herbal note that pairs well with chicken.
  • to taste Salt and pepper essential for seasoning the chicken and potatoes.
  • to garnish Fresh parsley adds a fresh, green finish and visual contrast.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) with the oven rack in the center position.
  2. In a large oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Add the chicken thighs to the skillet, season with salt, pepper, and dried thyme, and sear the chicken on both sides until golden brown, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  4. Add the diced potatoes around the chicken, drizzle with additional melted butter if desired, and mix to coat the potatoes in garlic butter.
  5. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through to 165°F and the potatoes are tender.
  6. If the skin needs extra crisping, place the skillet briefly under a hot broiler for 1 to 2 minutes.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving and let the skillet rest for a few minutes before serving.

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels before seasoning for better browning. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For freezing, cool completely and place portions in freezer-safe containers for up to 2 months.
