Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside on a plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Melt the butter in the same skillet over medium heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stir in the 2 teaspoons of all-purpose flour and cook for an additional minute to create a roux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Slowly whisk in the water, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Season the sauce with oregano, black pepper, lemon juice, and salt to taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Add the cooked chicken pieces back to the pan and toss to coat them in the garlic butter sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Garnish with parsley flakes before serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for this recipe. If using chicken breasts, they may cook a little faster than chicken thighs so keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a thicker sauce, you can add a cornstarch slurry (1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon of water) to the pan and cook for an additional minute or two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Serve these garlic butter chicken bites with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or honey mustard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a skillet or microwave until warmed through.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ingredients: 1 boneless, skinless chicken leg (about 400 grams) Salt Black pepper 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour Cooking oil 5 cloves garlic, minced 20 grams butter 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour 125 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":11763,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11762","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recipe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11762","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11762"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11762\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11764,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11762\/revisions\/11764"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/11763"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11762"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11762"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11762"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
