Ingredients

boneless skinless chicken thighs
700 g
garlic powder
1 tsp
salt and pepper
1 pinch
olive oil
1 tbsp
dry white wine
125 ml
unsalted butter
25 g
large garlic cloves
2 pcs
finely chopped parsley
1 tbsp

Step-by-Step Instructions

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Sprinkle both sides evenly with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, place the chicken in the skillet, smooth side down.

Press down lightly on the chicken with a spatula to ensure even contact with the pan. Cook for about 5 minutes without moving them, until the surface is deep golden and crispy.

Flip the chicken and press lightly again. Cook for 2 minutes. Add the minced garlic and butter to the pan, stirring for about 1 minute until the garlic is light golden and fragrant.

Pour in the white wine and turn up the heat. Stir around the chicken to dissolve the golden browned bits stuck to the bottom of the skillet. Simmer rapidly for 1.5 minutes or until the sharp smell of alcohol evaporates and the sauce reduces slightly.
