Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1 3/4 pounds)
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 pound small red potatoes, quartered (about 8 potatoes)
1 small lemon, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices and halved
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons fresh Italian flat-leaf parsley, chopped
4 cups baby arugula

Sprinkle with parsley.
