Ingredients
  

  • 5 chicken thighs boneless and skinless (about 21oz / 600g)
  • salt and pepper to taste

Garlic Butter

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425°F/220°C
  • Melt butter in a small fry-pan on medium-low heat.
  • Once butter has melted and is bubbling slightly, add in garlic and rosemary. Cook for 1 minute, then turn off the heat.
  • Pat chicken dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Lie the chicken thighs flat in a baking dish. (Note 1)
  • Pour the cooked garlic butter sauce over the chicken thighs. Place chicken thighs in the oven to cook for 20-25 minutes, turning them halfway and basting with some of garlic butter they are cooking in.
  • Let chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving, pouring over some of the garlic butter sauce from the baking dish.

Notes

  1. The baking dish should be deep enough to hold the garlic butter sauce that is poured over the chicken thighs.
