1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Make the Garlic Butter:
In a small bowl, mix butter, garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, lemon zest, and lemon juice until well combined.
Prepare the Chicken:
Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel. Gently loosen the skin and spread the garlic butter under the skin, then rub some over the top.

Heat olive oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken, skin-side down, for 3–4 minutes until golden brown.

Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) without overcooking.
