Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven's broiler setting and grease a broiler-safe pan or baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix together the finely chopped parsley, thyme, rosemary, and minced garlic.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat, then stir in the herb mixture, lemon juice, and honey. Remove from heat and set aside.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Brush the prepared herb butter mixture generously over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated and the butter gets beneath the skin wherever possible.
Place the chicken thighs skin-side up on the greased pan. Broil for 15 minutes, until the skin begins to crisp.
Meanwhile, preheat an outdoor grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
Carefully transfer the broiled chicken thighs to the hot grill. Grill each side for 4-5 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and has light grill marks.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
