A flavorful and easy-to-make dish featuring juicy chicken thighs infused with garlic and herbs.
Preheat your oven to 425°F and lightly grease a baking pan.
Ensure the oven is fully preheated to achieve even cooking.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter, minced garlic, soy sauce, black pepper, and rosemary. Microwave on high until the butter is melted, about 1-2 minutes.
Stir the mixture well to evenly distribute the flavors.
Arrange the chicken thighs on the prepared baking pan. Brush them generously with the butter mixture, reserving some for basting.
Ensure the chicken is evenly coated for consistent flavor.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven, flip the chicken thighs, and baste with the remaining butter mixture.
Flipping the chicken ensures even cooking and crispiness on both sides.
Return the chicken to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the juices run clear.
Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Serve the chicken thighs hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
