You know what I love?
Watching the snow fall outside my window. Sure, I am a little cold and my tropical food obsession is through the roof right now, but I am still LOVING watching that pretty white snow fall. I have no idea what’s going on, since normally by March I am over all things winter, but this year something is different and the snow still feels just as special as it does in September.
Thought I might mention, that, as I sit here staring, I am also thinking of detaching myself from my kitchen and my camera and going outside to play… or maybe not… it does look kind of cold and blustery out there. Too bad Asher is not around to motivate me. Oh well, the good news is, living up here, there will definitely be a next time!
Also, should snow and asparagus be mentioned in the same post? I would say no, but since I sometimes feel like I live in the Tundra, its gotta happen.
So about these garlic butter roasted chicken thighs, these were pretty much my first time working solely with thighs. I used to think that thighs were creepy, but that’s only because that’s what my parents told me. I have since learned that my parents are crazy and have probably never even tried them, thighs are delicious!
Oh but um, I do feel really weird saying thighs many times over – just thought I would throw that out there.
For this recipe, thighs are must… and they should be thighs with some skin (wow, this is really getting weird).
Why with the skin? Well, the skin creates a pocket between the meat, which you will then stuff your herb parmesan garlic butter into. Yeah, I am so serious right now. Herbed parmesan garlic butter. Flipping awesome.
It’s so simple, but also so delicious. The skin gets all crispy while the meat stays super most. And then, then there is the whole roasted garlic, parmesan herb BUTTAH thing going on. I am telling you, it’s what your dinner dreams are made of. NO JOKE.
But ah WAIT. It totally gets better. Like so much better…
The salsa verde!! It’s packed with charred lemons and so many fresh herbs. It’s super heavy on the Mediterranean flavors and I love that. The charred lemons are incredible, I think I may be doing them this way from now on. So much fresh and delicious flavor, but yet so healthy too!
I served my chicken alongside some risotto and the meal came full circle. Then just drizzle the salsa verde on to that crispy skin? YUM!
