Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
• 10 cloves Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 1 whole Zest of a lemon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 3

In an oven-safe skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for 5-7 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip and cook for another 3 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Lower the heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the garlic cloves and sauté them for 3-4 minutes until they are golden and fragrant.

Step 5

Add honey, soy sauce, and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir and scrape the bottom of the pan to deglaze. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2 minutes.

Step 6

Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, spooning the garlic glaze over the chicken. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 35 minutes, basting the chicken with the glaze every 10 minutes.

Step 7

While the chicken is roasting, prepare the lemon herb sauce. In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, lemon zest, parsley, thyme, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.

Step 8

Once the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F), remove it from the oven.

Step 9

Drizzle the prepared lemon herb sauce over the chicken and garnish with additional parsley if desired.

Step 10

Serve hot with your choice of side, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
