Adapted from Real Fast Food by Nigel Slater.
- Yield:serves 4
- Active time: 10 minutes
- Total time:25 minutes
Ingredients
- 8 chicken thighs
- Salt and pepper
- 4 teaspoons paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 stick butter at room temperature
Directions
-
1.
Season the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper and set aside. Preheat a broiler.
-
2.
In a small bowl, combine the spices, garlic, and butter. Beat the mixture until the spices are completely incorporated.
-
3.
Lay the chicken pieces skin-side up in a broiler-proof dish which will collect the spicy brown butter as it melts. Rub the spiced butter all over the chicken skin so all the pieces are thoroughly covered.
-
4.
Cook the chicken about 5 inches from the broiler until the skin is crisp and slightly blackened, 7-10 minutes, then flip and cook the other side for 5 minutes more until the chicken is cooked through. Throughout the cooking, spoon the brown butter in the bottom of the dish over the pieces to baste them.
-
5.
Flip the chicken pieces back over and cook for a minute longer to crisp the skin. Serve with rice and the extra brown butter spooned over everything.
