Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup chicken stock
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, paprika, cumin, honey, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and place them in a large bowl.
Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure each piece is well-coated. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Heat an oven-safe skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat.
Sear the chicken thighs skin-side down for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the skin becomes golden and crispy.
Flip the chicken thighs and pour the chicken stock into the skillet. This will keep the chicken moist and flavorful while baking.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes and enjoy your Scrumptious Chicken!
