Chicken Thighs Slow Roasted w/ Sage-Rosemary Butter

You know how there's Chicken-Fried Steak?  Yeah, well, I call this Turkey-Roasted Chicken.  It pays homage to Tyler Florence's Thanksgiving Turkey Special that I saw years and years ago.



Ingredient List:
  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp ground sage
  • 1/4 tsp ground rosemary
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 4 chicken thighs
  • 2 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup water


Directions:
  • Preheat oven to 300ºF
  • thoroughly blend the sage, rosemary, salt and butter
  • evenly spread the butter underneath the skins of the chicken thighs
  • place the chicken on a rack over a baking sheet
  • mix the maple syrup and water and drizzle a small amount (1-2 Tbsp) over each skin (I use a baster).
  • Continue to baste the chicken with the liquid & its own juices (from the bottom of the pan) every 30 minutes or so
  • Roast for 2 - 2.5 hours
Serve with your favorite sides like potatoes, green beans, salad, etc.  Tastes like Thanksgiving!
