I love searing the skin on the chicken thighs so it's crispy, but the recipe is just as yummy if you wish to use chicken breast in place of thighs. I like to serve this with an easy pasta side and whatever vegetables I have on hand.

Preparation

  1. 50 mins

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
    Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper, to taste.
    Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large oven-proof skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, and sear both sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side; set aside.
    Melt remaining two tablespoons butter in the skillet. Add garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
    Stir in brown sugar, honey, oregano, thyme and basil until well combined. Return chicken to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the chicken.
    Place into oven and roast until completely cooked through, about 25-30 minutes.
    Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.
