Broiled Garlic-Butter Chicken Thighs
  1. 1

    Position an oven rack about 6 inches below the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Lightly grease a baking pan.

  2. 2

    Mix butter, garlic, soy sauce, parsley, and pepper in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high until the butter is melted, stirring halfway through, about 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Place the chicken, skin-side up, on the prepared baking pan. Pour most of the butter mixture over the top to coat, keeping some aside for basting.

  4. 4

    Broil in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, turning and basting occasionally, about 20 minutes. Check with an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center; it should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Garnish with parsley to serve.
