Instructions
- Melt the butter with the olive oil either in a pan or in the microwave

- Place the chicken pieces, skin side down in a grill pan and cook for about 15 minutes on each side, brushing with the oil and sprinkling with salt twice during the cooking.

Notes
- It is best to take the chicken out of the fridge 20 minutes before cooking as it will cook more evenly.
- Don't press on the chicken while it cooks as this will squeeze out the juice and make it tough and dry.
- Allow chicken to rest for 15 minutes before serving or cutting into it.
