Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, and sear both sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side; remove from skillet and place in baking dishes. Set aside.

Melt the remaining 2 tablespoon's of butter in the skillet. Add garlic, and saute until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
