Garlic Chicken Thighs Recipe
Fast chicken thigh recipes are midweek lifesavers, and these Garlic Chicken Thighs are one among my gold nuggets!
With a crispy, garlic crusted floor, juicy insides and a garlic butter sauce, this can be a 5 ingredient boneless skinless chicken thigh recipe. It’s virtually unbelievable how outrageously scrumptious such a simple recipe might be!
There’s one key factor about this recipe that distinguishes it from most fast and simple chicken thigh recipes – these are CRISPY skinless chicken thighs.
Crispy crust? With skinless chicken thighs?
YES YOU CAN!
Right here’s the key: garlic powder, salt and pepper sprinkled on the chicken thighs. Prepare dinner on a comparatively low warmth = deep golden, crispy crust with terrific savoury garlic flavour.
And never solely do you get all of the pleasure of devouring that garlicky crispy crust, the brown bits within the pan from the searing* is the bottom for an unbelievable pan sauce that takes 1 1/2 minutes to make.
* The official phrase for the gold stuff in pans is fond.
I’m fairly certain chicken breast is the most well-liked lower of chicken right here in Australia – and doubtless many western nations.
Sure breast is leaner – simply marginally. Does it shock you to know that 100g/3.5oz chicken thighs solely has 2 teeny tiny grams extra fats than breast? 2 grams is nothing for all of the additional flavour and juiciness you get from chicken thighs!
In all honesty, on the subject of stress free fast and simple meals with chicken, go chicken thighs all the best way. It’s juicier so simpler to cook dinner, much less susceptible to drying out since you overcooked it by 90 seconds, might be cooked with much less oil and it has higher flavour than breast. 🙂
What to serve on the aspect?
Make dinner additional fabulous by serving these Garlic Chicken Thighs with this addictive Curried Basmati Rice or Mushroom Rice! Add this On a regular basis Cabbage Salad for crunch (an amazing standby salad) or make a fast backyard salad.
There are only a few recipes on this world which can be actually made out of scratch that decision for such few elements, are critically fast and simple, don’t name for a bath of butter and cream, are economical and but so lip smackingly scrumptious, you’d proudly serve this up for firm.
