Ingredientes

80 g (2 3/4 oz) unsalted butter, room temperature

1 ½ tsp sea salt flakes

¼ tsp cracked black pepper, plus extra to serve

1 tbsp freshly minced garlic

1 tbsp honey

2 tsp thyme leaves, plus extra to garnish (see note 1 for substitutions)

1 ⅕ kg (2 lb 10 oz) bone-in, skin-on chicken thigh cutlets (5 chicken thighs)

½ cup (125 ml) chicken stock

Freezer-friendly Mashed Potatoes

Steamed asparagus or greens of choice

Instrucciones

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) (180°C/350°F fan).

Combine the butter, salt, black pepper, garlic, honey and thyme in a small bowl.

Arrange the chicken thighs on a baking tray with sides, skin-side up.

Spread the butter mixture all over the chicken using your hands, focusing mainly on the skin. Pour the chicken stock around the seasoned chicken (this will protect the marinade from burning and leave a delicious sauce in the base of the tray).

Roast for 55–60 minutes until golden and cooked through, basting once halfway.

Serve with mashed potatoes and steamed asparagus and drizzle with the tray juices. Garnish with extra thyme sprigs and add a little extra black pepper to finish.

TO COOK IN AN AIR FRYER

In a small bowl, mix together the butter, salt, pepper, garlic, honey and thyme until combined.

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towel to ensure crispy skin.

Using your hands, spread the butter mixture generously over the chicken thighs, focusing on the skin.

Preheat the air fryer to 190°C (375°F) for about 5 minutes. Lightly grease the air fryer basket or tray to prevent sticking.

Arrange the chicken thighs skin-side up in a single layer (cook in batches if necessary). Air fry for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden, crispy and cooked through. If you’d like to baste the chicken with the melted butter from the air fryer basket, do this at the halfway point.

Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving, to lock in the juices.
