Lemon Butter Roasted Chicken Thighs
- 6 pieces Bone-in Skinless Chicken Thighs
- 1 pinch Ground Black Pepper
- 1/2 sticks Butter
- 3 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 2 Tablespoons Freshly Chopped Parsley
- 2 teaspoons Seasoned Salt
- Using bone-in thighs that are close to room temperature, remove the skin and sprinkle lightly with some pepper and set aside.
- In a skillet, melt together butter, lemon juice, parsley, and seasoned salt until butter is melted and just starting to bubble.
- Remove from heat.
- Dip your chicken pieces in the butter mixture, being sure to coat both sides, and place into a roasting pan.
- Reserve the remaining butter mixture.
- Place in an oven heated to 350F for 15 minutes.
- Remove roasting pan quickly and, using a pastry brush, brush the chicken pieces again with any remaining butter.
- Return to the oven to cook for another 20-25 minutes (35-40 minutes in total) or until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh and not touching bone reads 165F.
- Squeeze a bit of fresh lemon on top, sprinkle on some some fresh parsley, and serve immediately!
- (Leftovers make amazing chicken salad!)
