Ingredients

• 6 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
• 8 cloves Garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
• 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure crisp skin. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika on both sides.

Step 2

Peel the garlic cloves. Leave them whole for a milder flavor or crush them slightly for a stronger taste.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.

Step 4

Once the oil is shimmering, place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for 6-8 minutes without moving until the skin is golden and crispy.

Step 5

Flip the chicken thighs and cook for another 4-5 minutes on the other side. Remove the chicken and set aside on a plate.

Step 6

Lower the heat to medium. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and butter to the skillet.

Step 7

Toss in the garlic cloves, stirring until fragrant and lightly golden, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Add the thyme and rosemary sprigs to the skillet. Let the liquid simmer for 2 minutes to infuse the flavors.

Step 10

Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up. Cover with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 11

Uncover the skillet and add the lemon juice. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 12

Discard the herb sprigs. Transfer the chicken and garlic to a serving plate, spooning the sauce over the top.

Step 13

Serve warm with crusty bread, mashed potatoes, or your favorite side dish.
