Cooking Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Clean and pat dry chicken. Cut off any excess skin off the chicken. Season the chicken with cajun seasoning, paprika & Italian seasoning.
- Heat a small amount of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet just enough to coat the pan. Place the chicken thighs, skin side down and sear until crispy, about 5 minutes.
- Remove chicken from pan and discard excess oil.
- In the same pan over low heat add the chicken broth, butter and garlic.
- Put chicken back in the pan skin side up and add the sage & rosemary.
- Place in the oven and let cook for 35 minutes or until the chicken reaches 165°F internally.
- Serve with sauce drizzled over & dried parsley.
- Eat & enjoy!
Notes
If you don’t have an oven-safe pan, transfer everything to an oven-safe baking dish before putting it in the oven. You can substitute thyme for the sage. Adding a little lemon and honey to the garlic butter sauce is a tasty way to elevate this dish even further.
