🥘 Ingredients

11 items

• 6 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
• 8 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 piece lemon (juiced)
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
• 1 cup chicken stock
• 2 tablespoons parsley (chopped, for garnish)

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season them with salt and pepper on all sides.

2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

3. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the skillet and cook for 5–7 minutes, until the skin is golden brown and crispy. Flip the chicken and cook the other side for 3–4 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

4. Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet.

5. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1–2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant.

6. Stir in the chopped rosemary, thyme, and the juice of one lemon. Cook for another minute to let the flavors meld.

7. Pour the chicken stock into the skillet and bring it to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

8. Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the chicken cook for 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

9. Remove the skillet from the heat. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

10. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm. Pair with rice, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
