We love any recipe that you can add garlic to, but adding garlic to the butter and putting it on the skin of the chicken tends to result in burnt garlic. If you really need a burst of garlic flavour, then you can put it inside the chicken with the lemon and thyme. You could also put it on a bed of onion and garlic. Not only would this add some extra flavour to the juices, but it elevates the chicken off the bottom of the pan which allows it to cook more evenly.
