Instructions

Season the chicken with salt and black pepper.
Heat a skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium heat and add a little butter. Pan-fry the chicken skin side down until both surfaces are crispy and nicely browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining melted butter and sauté the garlic until light brown. Return the chicken to the skillet, followed by the white wine and water. Lower the heat and let it simmer. Add salt to taste and a sprinkle of cayenne pepper.
Reduce the sauce slightly, then add the chopped parsley and top the chicken with Parmesan cheese. Remove from heat and broil the chicken in the oven until the cheese melts. Serve immediately.

Notes

You may use bone-in chicken thighs, but for best results, debone the chicken thighs but keep the skin on. If you don't have wine, skip it and use 1/2 cup water instead of 1/4 cup. You may melt the cheese by covering the skillet for a little bit until the cheese melts. You don't have to broil the chicken in the oven but broiling makes it better and also char the skin a little bit.
