Ingredients

• 6 pieces Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Honey

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven's broiler setting and grease a broiler-safe pan or baking sheet.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the finely chopped parsley, thyme, rosemary, and minced garlic.

Step 3

Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat, then stir in the herb mixture, lemon juice, and honey. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Step 5

Brush the prepared herb butter mixture generously over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated and the butter gets beneath the skin wherever possible.

Step 6

Place the chicken thighs skin-side up on the greased pan. Broil for 15 minutes, until the skin begins to crisp.

Step 7

Meanwhile, preheat an outdoor grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.

Step 8

Carefully transfer the broiled chicken thighs to the hot grill. Grill each side for 4-5 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and has light grill marks.

Step 9

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
