Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season them generously with salt, black pepper, and paprika on both sides.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Place the chicken thighs into the skillet, skin-side down, and sear for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip and cook the other side for 2 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the chopped rosemary, thyme, chicken broth, and lemon juice to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up, and spoon some of the sauce over them.
Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the chicken to a serving platter.
Add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter to the skillet sauce and whisk until melted and well incorporated. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Spoon the savory sauce over the chicken and serve warm. Pair with a side of roasted vegetables or garlic mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
