Ingredients

• 4, bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon, finely chopped fresh rosemary
• 1 teaspoon, finely chopped fresh thyme
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 cup chicken stock
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Step 1: Pat 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
2. Step 2: Place chicken skin-side down in the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes until skin is golden brown and crisp, then flip and cook for 3 minutes more. Remove chicken and set aside.
3. Step 3: Add 2 minced garlic cloves to the skillet, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in 1 teaspoon chopped rosemary and 1 teaspoon chopped thyme, cooking for 30 seconds.
4. Step 4: Sprinkle 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour over the herbs, stirring constantly for 1 minute to form a paste. Gradually whisk in 1 cup chicken stock until smooth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
5. Step 5: Return chicken to the skillet, skin-side up. Bring to a gentle simmer, then transfer the skillet to a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven. Bake for 25 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internally.
6. Step 6: Remove chicken and tent with foil. Pour the pan juices into a small bowl, then whisk in 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Return the juices to the skillet and simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Pour over chicken before serving.
