"Butterflied" Chicken Thighs

Butterflied Chicken Thighs
Tired of just seasoning and baking the thighs, I wanted to spice things up a bit.  That's when a stroke of brilliance led me to butterfly the thighs before seasoning them.

The process of making this dish is a relatively simple one.  Prepare (butterfly) the thighs, rub them with seasoning, sear in a pan, stick pan in the oven and bake for a bit over an hour.

I have now made them twice this way, once with dry seasonings (garlic seasoning mix) and once with wet (raspberry mustard dip).  Both times the thighs came out moist and delicious.

  1. The butterflied effect allows any fat in the thigh to cook through, yet allows the meat to remain moist. I highly enjoy this way.
