Ingredients
- 6 bone in chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt and pepper
- 6 cloves garlic roughly chopped
- 1 lemon sliced in thick slices
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Heat a large oven proof skillet over medium heat with the olive oil. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper to taste. Fry on both sides in skillet until golden (but not cooked completely through.)
- Squeeze the lemons over the chicken and lay in the skillet beside the chicken. Sprinkle with the garlic and rosemary.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until the juices run clear.
- I like to baste my chicken with the juices once or twice while baking.
Notes
You can keep your leftover chicken thighs in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 4-5 days. Just make sure the chicken cools before storing it!
