Ingredients

  • 4 large bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, or more to taste

Information

  • Prep Time: 5 mins
  • Cook Time: 45 mins
  • Total Time: 50 mins
  • Servings: 4
  • Yield: 4 chicken thighs

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat oil in a large, oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, to the hot oil. Sear until skin is browned and crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Turn and brown the other side, about 5 minutes more. Remove from heat and drain excess fat from the skillet.
  • Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add chicken broth, 2 lemon wedges, and rosemary sprigs. Reserve remaining lemon wedges for serving. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat.
  • Cover skillet and place in the preheated oven. Bake until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Remove from the oven and squeeze juice from the 2 hot lemon wedges over the chicken. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with additional lemon wedges.
