How to Make Baked Garlic Thyme Chicken
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a small bowl, combine 4 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, 1/4 cup melted butter, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Place two 1.5-2 lb bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts in a baking dish.
- Spread the garlic-thyme butter mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring the skin is fully coated.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes with the chicken breast side down.
- Carefully flip the chicken breasts, breast side up.
- Continue baking for another 25-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. Baste the chicken with the pan juices every 10 minutes for extra flavor and moisture.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
