Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken thighs
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 0.5 lemon, juiced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 cup chicken stock
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the white wine, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped shallot, rosemary, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Step 2
Add the chicken thighs to the bowl, ensuring they are fully submerged in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for maximum flavor.
Step 3
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 4
Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels. Reserve the marinade for later use.
Step 5
In a large oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once the butter is hot and bubbling, sear the chicken thighs skin-side down for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Flip and sear the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
Step 6
Pour the reserved marinade and chicken stock into the skillet, ensuring it surrounds the chicken but does not cover the skin.
Step 7
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 8
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve the chicken warm, drizzled with the pan sauce, alongside your choice of sides such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
