Juicy, crispy Oven Roasted Garlic Butter Chicken made with golden skin-on chicken, rich garlic-herb butter, and a hint of lemon. A flavorful, easy dinner for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts

  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter

  • 6 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped

  • 1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped

  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (plus more for garnish)

  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add garlic, rosemary, thyme, and lemon zest. Cook until fragrant.

  3. Pat chicken dry and season with salt and pepper.

  4. (Optional) Sear chicken skin-side down in olive oil for 3–4 minutes. Flip and sear for another 2 minutes.

  5. Brush garlic butter all over chicken. Transfer skillet or chicken to a baking dish.

  6. Roast uncovered for 30–40 minutes, basting halfway.

  7. Broil for 2–3 minutes for extra crispy skin.

  8. Rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with parsley and a squeeze of lemon.

Notes

Use boneless chicken for quicker cooking. Add vegetables to the pan for a one-pan meal. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
