Instructions
1
Use a paper towel to pat the chicken thighs dry. You want to remove excess moisture so the chicken will brown properly.
2
In a small bowl, combine the spices: onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3
Rub the chicken thighs generously with the seasoning mixture. Set aside while you prepare green beans.
4
Arrange the green beans in a microwave-safe dish with 1/2 cup (125ml) water and cook in the microwave for 8-10 minutes, until almost done but still crisp.
5
Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-low heat and melt 2 tablespoons of butter.
6
Place the seasoned chicken thighs skin side down in the hot skillet, and cook until the skin is crispy, about 5-6 minutes, then flip the chicken thighs and cook another 5-6 minutes, until cooked through and a cooking thermometer displays 165°F (75°C). If the chicken browns too quickly, lower the heat. Adjust timing depending on the thickness. Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.
7
In the same skillet, lower the heat and melt the remaining tablespoon of butter. Add chopped parsley, garlic, hot sauce, red crushed chili pepper flakes, and pre-cooked green beans, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring regularly, until cooked to your liking. Add lemon juice and chicken stock and reduce the sauce for a couple of minutes, until slightly thickened.
8
Push green beans to the side, place the chicken back in the pan with the sauce, and reheat quickly. Adjust the seasoning of the chicken with pepper.
9
Serve the lemon garlic butter chicken thighs warm, garnished with more crushed chili pepper, fresh parsley, and a slice of lemon if you like. Enjoy!
