Instructions

Pat the chicken thighs dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the chicken thighs skin-side down and cook for about 5–7 minutes until golden and crispy. Flip and cook another 5 minutes.
Reduce heat to medium-low. Add butter, garlic, thyme, and rosemary to the pan. Let the butter melt and spoon the mixture over the chicken.
Cover the pan with a lid and cook for another 10–15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove from heat and rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes.

Notes

You can swap dried herbs for fresh if available.
Works great with boneless chicken thighs too—just adjust the cook time.
Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
