Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Season the chicken thighs on both sides with the salt and black pepper. Place thighs skin side up in a 9-inch square baking dish.

Cut the butter into four cubes and place one on top of each chicken thigh. Sprinkle the Herbes de Provence evenly over the chicken.

Roast the chicken on middle rack of oven until skin is browned and crisp and chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, 42-47 minutes.

Check to see that chicken is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.

Transfer the chicken thighs to a plate and serve immediately.

My Notes

Whether it's a recipe tweak or an inspiration burst — jot it down here.

Butter Massage Magic 🧈
Gently work softened salted butter under the chicken skin to create an incredibly crispy exterior and deeply infused Herbes de Provence flavor.
Herb Intensity Hack 🌿
Toast your Herbes de Provence blend lightly in a dry skillet before using to unlock deeper, more complex aromatics and intensify the herb profile.
Skin Crispiness Secret 🍗
Pat chicken thighs completely dry with paper towels before seasoning to ensure maximum skin crispiness and prevent steaming during roasting.
Elevated Resting Technique 🍽️
Let roasted chicken thighs rest on a wire rack instead of a flat surface to prevent skin from becoming soggy and maintain perfect crisp texture.
Even Cooking Pro Tip 🔥
Allow chicken thighs to come to room temperature for 20-30 minutes before roasting to guarantee more uniform cooking and prevent cold-center syndrome.
