• Cook in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove aluminum foil and continue cooking until chicken is browned, 10 to 15 more minutes.

CRISPY CHICKEN THIGHS WITH BASIL AND PROSCIUTTO BUTTER

Steps:

• Using a fork, combine the butter ingredients. Divide the seasoned butter into 8 equal portions.
• Prepare the grill for indirect and direct cooking over medium-high heat.
• Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Using your fingertips, gently loosen the skin of the thighs, being careful not to completely separate the skin from the meat. Lift skin up and place a portion of butter underneath. Smooth the skin over the butter and massage it gently to spread it evenly over the top of the meat. Season thighs on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Grill thighs, skin side up first, over indirect medium-high heat, with the lid closed, until sizzling, slightly firm and lightly marked on the bottom, 18 to 20 minutes. Then turn the thighs over and cook over direct medium-high heat, with the lid closed, until the juices run clear, the skin is blistered and crisp, and the meat is no longer pink at the bone, 2 to 4 minutes more. If flare-ups occur (and they did frequently for me), move the thighs temporarily over indirect heat. Remove from grill and let rest for 3 to 5 minutes. Serve warm.

• Dip chicken thighs in the Dijon mixture until evenly coated, then dredge in the bread crumb mixture. Transfer thighs to the prepared baking sheet and spray the tops with cooking spray.
• Bake in the preheated oven without flipping until no longer pink in the centers, 30 to 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Garnish with parsley to serve.
