Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 stick butter, softened
1 large shallot, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 clove garlic, crushed
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 ½ tablespoons soy sauce
1 ½ tablespoons red wine
1 tablespoon white sugar
6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, excess fat trimmed
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups chicken stock

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Mix butter, shallot, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until melted, about 1 minute. Add soy sauce, wine, and sugar; mix well.
Pat chicken completely dry. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet until shimmering. Arrange thighs skin-side down in the skillet. Brown in batches until crispy enough to release from the pan, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
Spoon some of the butter mixture onto the skinless side of the thighs. Flip over and pour the rest of the mixture around the thighs, avoiding the skins. Add chicken stock slowly until about 3/4 of the way up the thighs. Scrape up browned bits into the sauce.
Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 40 to 50 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Ingredients

6 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs (about 2 1/4 pounds)

Easily made in one large skillet, the chicken is cooked first before the corn kernels are added to sauté in the drippings, seasoned with garlic, thyme and plenty of brown butter. Finished with torn basil, lime juice and scallions, it walks the line between rich and sweet, and tangy and fresh - all in under 30 minutes.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

4 skinless, boneless chicken thighs (about 1 1/4 pounds)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 garlic cloves, finely grated or minced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels (from 1 to 2 ears; see Tip)
1/2 cup torn basil leaves
Lime wedges, for serving
2 scallions, thinly sliced, for serving

Steps:

Season chicken all over with salt and pepper. Rub garlic and thyme on chicken, and set aside while preparing the rest of the ingredients.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter, letting butter melt. Add chicken and sear, undisturbed, until browned on both sides, about 4 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate.
Over medium heat, add remaining 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet. Cook, swirling occasionally, until the foam subsides and it smells nutty and toasty, 2 to 3 minutes. (Watch carefully to see that it doesn't burn.) Add corn and a big pinch of salt and black pepper. Sauté until tender and golden brown, 2 minutes.
Add chicken back to the skillet. Cover and cook until chicken is cooked through and corn is caramelized, about 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and taste corn, adding more salt and pepper if needed. Stir in basil and squeeze 2 lime wedges over the top. Serve garnished with sliced scallions and more lime wedges.
