Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 tablespoons butter, divided
4 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons lemon juice
¼ teaspoon onion powder
4 (8 ounce) skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Place 3 tablespoons butter in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in a microwave oven until melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Smash garlic cloves with the side of a chef's knife and add garlic to the warm butter. Stir in lemon juice and onion powder. Set aside.
  • Sprinkle both sides of chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a medium-sized oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Brown chicken, skin-side down, for 3 to 4 minutes. Flip chicken over and brush skin with lemon-butter mixture. Pour remaining butter mixture into skillet and remove from heat.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Brush skin every 10 minutes with pan juices.
  • Remove skillet from the oven and place chicken on a serving platter. Drizzle chicken with pan juices and garnish with parsley.

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 (3 to 3 1/2-pound) whole chicken, rinsed and patted dry
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
6 tablespoons honey
1 lemon, zested
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon room temperature unsalted butter
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
Mashed Sweet Potatoes, recipe follows
Mashed Sweet Potatoes:
2 pounds sweet potatoes
1/2 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons cane or maple syrup
Pinch salt and pepper
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Arrange a rack inside a large roasting pan and set aside.
  • Season the chicken both inside and out with the kosher salt and black pepper.
  • In a small bowl, combine the honey, lemon zest and juice and butter. Place the chicken on a rack in a roasting pan breast side up and roast until lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Using a pastry brush, brush half of the honey mixture over the chicken, as well as sprinkling half the thyme over the chicken and return the chicken to the oven. Continue to cook another 30 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh registers 180 degrees F. Remove the chicken from the oven and brush the remaining honey blend and sprinkle the remainder of the thyme over the chicken.
  • Remove the chicken from the oven and transfer to a platter or cutting board to rest for 10 minutes before carving.
  • To serve, spoon the sweet potatoes into the center of 4 large plates and arrange the chicken on top. Drizzle the chicken with any remaining pan juices and serve immediately with the sweet potatoes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the potatoes on a foil lined baking sheet and bake until tender and begins to ooze sugary syrup, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit until cool enough to handle.
  • Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh with a spoon into a large bowl. Add the cream, sugar, butter, syrup, salt and pepper, and thyme, if using and mix, mashing until the potato mixture is smooth. Cover to keep warm until ready to serve.

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 medium chicken wings, tips on or off
3 Tbsp onion powder
3 Tbsp garlic powder
2 tsp black pepper
2 Tbsp paprika, can be generous
chicken base
1/2 stick butter

Steps:

  • 1. Rinse the wings and pat dry.

  • 8. Turn the temperature up to 500 and allow them to brown and crisp, 10 minutes. Serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For the best results, use a whole chicken that is about 3-4 pounds. A larger chicken will take longer to cook, so adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • Season the chicken well: Before baking, season the chicken generously with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices of your choice. This will help to enhance the flavor of the chicken.
  • Use a good quality butter: The butter that you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the chicken. Use a high-quality unsalted butter for the best results.
  • Let the chicken rest before carving: After the chicken is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more moist and flavorful bird.

Conclusion:

Butter baked chicken is a classic dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. By following these tips, you can ensure that your butter baked chicken turns out perfectly every time. So next time you're looking for a simple yet delicious meal, give this recipe a try.
