Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Make the Greek seasoning blend. 
  2. Season both sides of the chicken thighs with the seasoning blend, to taste. Season both sides with a bit of sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Side Note: If time permits, season the chicken and place it on a plate in the refrigerator uncovered for a few hours before cooking. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator 30 minutes prior to cooking. 
  3. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil (or butter) in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Place directly into the HOT skillet skin side down, and cook for 4 minutes, or until the skin is golden brown and flips easily.
  6. Flip the chicken over and place it into the preheated oven. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Remove from the oven and use tongs to remove the chicken from the skillet to a serving plate. Serve the chicken thighs with fresh lemon on the side. Serve immediately. Enjoy.
