Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat dry 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and season both sides with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the chicken thighs skin-side down and cook for 7-8 minutes until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
  3. Step 3: Flip the chicken thighs and add 5 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, and 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme around the pan. Sauté together for 6-7 minutes, spooning the infused oil over the chicken until cooked through and fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
