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.

HONEY-LEMON CHICKEN THIGHS
Here's another recipe with chicken thighs, which are actually considered one of the favorite parts of the chicken in Chinese cooking, as they aren't as dry as the breast. (This recipe isn't particularly Chinese; I'm just going off on tangents.) Enjoy!

Steps:
- Grate 1 tsp of zest from the lemon, and press 1 tbs of juice.
- Combine the zest and juice with stock, honey, and soy sauce.
- Heat oil in a large wok with a cover and brown the thighs.
- Remove the thighs from oil and add the onion; saute until soft.
- Add the rice, pepper, and broth mixture; top with the browned thighs.
- Cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed.
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken thighs: Use boneless, skinless chicken thighs for this recipe. Bone-in, skin-on thighs can also be used, but they will take longer to cook.
- Use fresh lemon juice: Fresh lemon juice is essential for this recipe. Bottled lemon juice can be used, but it will not have the same bright flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When browning the chicken thighs, do not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
- Cook the chicken thighs until they are cooked through: The chicken thighs are cooked through when they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve the chicken thighs immediately: The chicken thighs are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will prevent them from drying out.
Conclusion:
Honey lemon chicken thighs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the honey lemon sauce is sweet and tangy. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
