Start by patting your chicken thighs or fillets dry with paper towels. This helps achieve a nice sear when cooking. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Watch closely as it melts; you'll want to continue cooking it until it turns golden brown and develops a nutty aroma, about 3-5 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even browning.
Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet, skin-side down if using thighs. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. You may need to adjust the heat to avoid burning the butter. If using chicken breast, aim for a similar cooking time but check for doneness with a meat thermometer.
Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the skillet and set it aside on a plate. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and add the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter, garlic, honey, and lemon juice. Stir until the butter is melted and the ingredients are well combined. If you prefer a saucier dish, add chicken broth to achieve your desired consistency.
Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the pieces. Let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the chicken to absorb the flavors while the sauce thickens slightly.
Prepare your serving platter with the chicken and pour any remaining sauce over the top. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges and broccoli on the side. Enjoy your Amazing Browned Butter Honey Garlic Chicken with your loved ones!
