Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Place 3 tablespoons butter in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in a microwave oven until melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Smash garlic cloves with the side of a chef's knife and add garlic to the warm butter. Stir in lemon juice and onion powder. Set aside.
- Sprinkle both sides of chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a medium-sized oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Brown chicken, skin-side down, for 3 to 4 minutes. Flip chicken over and brush skin with lemon-butter mixture. Pour remaining butter mixture into skillet and remove from heat.
- Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Brush skin every 10 minutes with pan juices.
- Remove skillet from the oven and place chicken on a serving platter. Drizzle chicken with pan juices and garnish with parsley.

BUTTER BAKED CHICKEN
I was given this recipe years ago from a friend..she swore by it, so I couldn't wait to try it. It was everything she said..flavorful, tender..just plain delicious.. I like it because it's baked, never dries out, and does not have a thick, heavy crust...if you like it crunchier..just bake a bit longer.. Enjoy! My photo

BUTTER BAKED CHICKEN WINGS, IRIS
These baked chicken wings turn out crispy and super juicy. Pats of butter are roasted on top of the seasoned wings. The butter mixed with onion powder, garlic, pepper, and paprika creates a sauce while they bake. We poured the juices over the wings as we ate them. They are delicious!

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: For this recipe, it's best to use a whole chicken that is about 3-4 pounds. You can also use chicken breasts or thighs, but you may need to adjust the cooking time.
- Use a good quality butter: The butter will add flavor and richness to the chicken, so it's important to use a good quality butter. Look for butter that is made from fresh cream and has a high butterfat content.
- Season the chicken generously: Before baking, season the chicken liberally with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other spices and herbs, such as paprika, thyme, or rosemary.
- Roast the chicken uncovered: This will help the skin to become crispy and golden brown. However, if you find that the chicken is browning too quickly, you can tent it with foil.
- Let the chicken rest before carving: Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in more tender and flavorful meat.
Conclusion:
Butter-baked chicken is a classic dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its crispy skin, tender meat, and flavorful gravy, it's a dish that everyone will enjoy. Whether you're serving it for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner, butter-baked chicken is sure to be a hit.
