Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 1 whole Lemon slices
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, rosemary, garlic, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature or up to 8 hours in the refrigerator.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add butter.
Once the butter is melted and sizzling, place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the skillet. Sear for about 5-7 minutes until the skin is golden brown.
Flip the chicken thighs and pour the chicken broth into the skillet.
Add lemon slices between the chicken thighs for additional flavor.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving, allowing the juices to redistribute.
Serve the keto lemon rosemary chicken thighs hot with your choice of keto-friendly side dishes.
