Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat 6 bone-in chicken thighs dry and season all over with 1 tbsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for 5-6 minutes until skin is golden and crispy. Flip and cook 3 minutes on the other side.
  3. Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp honey, 3 tbsp chopped fresh dill, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp lemon zest, and 2 tbsp lemon juice.
  4. Step 4: Brush the honey-dill mixture generously over the chicken thighs. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the glaze is caramelized.
  5. Step 5: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving, spooning any pan juices over the top.
