Ingredients
- 8 teaspoons brown sugar divided
- 8 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter divided
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- Juice of 2 limes
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Using your fingers, work the brown sugar, about 1 teaspoon per thigh, onto both sides of the chicken. Season with oregano, basil, paprika, salt and pepper, to taste.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large oven-proof skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, and sear both sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side; drain excess fat and set aside.
- Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in the skillet. Add garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in chicken broth, lime juice and cilantro.
- Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. Return chicken to the skillet.
- Place into oven and roast until completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 25-30 minutes.
- Serve immediately.
