I found this to be very flavorful and easy to make. The only chicken I had on hand was skinless, boneless thighs. So I cut pockets into each thigh and filled it with the salsa butter and secured it with toothpicks. I then followed the rest of the recipe exact. Because of the saltiness of the anchovies I would probably use unsalted butter next time. It was a little salty, but I like salt, some people don't. I will definitely make this one again. The salsa butter would also go good with steak or seafood.
