Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Pat 6 bone-in chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Rub each thigh with 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh thyme, and 3 minced garlic cloves ensuring even coating.
  2. Step 2: Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for 5-6 minutes until the skin is golden brown and crisp.
  3. Step 3: Flip the chicken thighs and pour 1/4 cup dry white wine and 2 tbsp lemon juice around them. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 12-15 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and juices run clear.
  4. Step 4: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving, spooning pan juices over the thighs for extra flavor.
