Ingredients

  • – 4 lbs chicken pieces
    3 unit
  • 1 cup

Method

1
Heat the butter in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until it foams and turns golden, about 2 minutes.
2
Carefully place the chicken pieces in the hot butter, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pot.
3
Brown the chicken on all sides until the skin is golden and crispy, turning occasionally.
12 minutes
4
Reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking the chicken in its own juices and butter, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
5
Simmer the chicken until it is fully cooked through and tender, with the internal temperature reaching 165°F (74°C).
30 minutes
6
Transfer the cooked chicken to a serving platter and drizzle with the rich, browned butter from the pot.
7
Serve immediately while hot, allowing the rich buttery sauce to coat the tender chicken pieces.
