4 chicken thighs

5 cloves garlic (crushed)

zest of 1 lemon

1/4 c. butter

1 tbsp. olive oil

salt and pepper


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper.

Notes

If you are into crispy skin and more flavor, choose chicken thighs with thick skin. Make sure that the garlic cloves are slightly crushed so it will be easier for them to release their flavor.
