Ingredients

• 4 Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 Garlic cloves (minced)
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 cup Chicken broth (soy-free)
• 1 tablespoon Thyme (fresh, chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Rosemary (fresh, chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 Lemon (sliced for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons Parsley (fresh, chopped for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. This ensures the chicken gets crispy when cooked.

Step 3

In a large ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the chicken thighs skin-side down, and sear for about 5 minutes or until the skin is golden brown. Turn the thighs over and sear for another 5 minutes.

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. Reduce the heat to medium.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 7

Pour in the lemon juice and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon.

Step 8

Stir in the chopped thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper.

Step 9

Return the chicken thighs to the skillet skin-side up, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid.

Step 10

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 11

Remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.

Step 12

Serve the chicken with pan juices drizzled over the top, garnished with lemon slices and chopped parsley.
