Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Rinse the snails under cold water, then pat them dry with paper towels.
2
In a large saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and lightly golden, about 4-5 minutes.
3
Add the white wine, chicken broth, salt, and pepper to the saucepan. Stir to combine, then bring the mixture to a simmer.
4
Add the snails to the saucepan, shell side down. Cover the pan with a lid and cook, stirring occasionally, until the snails are cooked through and the garlic butter sauce has thickened, about 10-12 minutes.
5
Remove the snails from the saucepan and place them on a serving platter or individual plates. Spoon the garlic butter sauce over the snails and garnish with parsley and thyme.
