Time 37m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 lb chicken thighs
kosher salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lemon, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • On a cutting board, pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large cast iron or stainless steel pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the chicken skin side-down and cook without disturbing until golden brown, about 7 minutes. Flip the chicken over and continue to cook until the other side is golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the lemon slices to the pan around the chicken. Transfer to the oven and bake until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C), 15-20 minutes depending on the size of the thighs.
  • Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving with your favorite side dishes.
  • Enjoy!
