Ingredients
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C)
Pat chicken thighs dry and season with oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat
Sear chicken skin-side down for 5-6 minutes until golden and crisp
Flip thighs and cook 2 minutes, then transfer skillet to the oven
Bake for 20-25 minutes
Meanwhile, whisk together lemon juice, minced garlic, and butter in a small bowl
Drizzle sauce over chicken during the last 5 minutes of baking
Let rest 5 minutes before serving
Notes
Use low-carb sides like roasted broccoli or zucchini
For extra crispy skin, refrigerate chicken overnight before cooking
Simmer the lemon garlic sauce longer for a bolder flavor
