Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Finely mince the garlic cloves and set them aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, fresh thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and thoroughly coat them with the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt.
Sear the chicken thighs, skin-side down, for 3–4 minutes or until golden brown. Flip and sear the other side for an additional 2 minutes.
Pour the chicken stock into the skillet around the chicken to keep it moist.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and spoon some of the pan juices over the chicken to enhance its flavor.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
