Ingredients

• 6 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 whole Lemon, juiced
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and set them aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and paprika to create a herb mixture.

Step 4

Rub this herb mixture generously over the chicken thighs, ensuring the skin and underside are coated well.

Step 5

Heat an oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter. Once melted, sear the chicken thighs skin-side down for 3-4 minutes or until golden and crispy.

Step 6

Flip the chicken thighs and sear the other side for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 7

Pour the chicken broth into the skillet, ensuring it surrounds the chicken without covering the skin.

Step 8

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 30 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve the herbed chicken with the pan juices drizzled on top and enjoy!
