This is one of my go-to recipes when I have herbs that need to get used up. If I am not ready to make the chicken right away, I like to freeze the seasoned butter in ice cube trays for use later. When I prepare the butter ahead of time, this dish requires almost no prep time and comes together quickly. I like to serve it with a dark leafy green vegetable such as Kale with Balsamic-Caramelized Onions or a green salad, and roasted potatoes or other root vegetables.

Ingredients
1½ pounds bone-in chicken thighs (about 4)
4 tablespoons butter softened
2 cloves garlic crushed
2 teaspoons finely chopped parsley
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh sage
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoons lemon zest
½ teaspoons kosher salt
¼ teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
