Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 whole Lemon
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Chicken broth
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season them with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 3
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Add the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for 4-5 minutes until the skin turns golden and crispy. Flip the chicken and sear the other side for 2 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet.
Step 6
Mince 2 garlic cloves and slice the remaining 2. Add all the garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 7
Add the fresh rosemary, thyme, and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir to combine.
Step 8
Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up, and spoon some of the broth mixture over the chicken.
Step 9
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 10
While the chicken bakes, finely chop the fresh parsley and zest the lemon.
Step 11
Once the chicken is done, sprinkle with parsley and lemon zest for a bright, herbaceous finish.
Step 12
Serve the chicken warm, spooned with the pan sauces, and garnish with extra fresh herbs if desired.
